We retired earlier this year at age 49. We were FI for a few years before that, but I found it hard to retire while my son was still in high school. It seemed like I needed something to do until he was off to college. I retired in April - just about 6 weeks before his graduation.
Other people I know wait until their kids are in college (or out). I have one friend (my age) whose kids are just 6, 4, and 2. He says he can't think about retirement until his kids are MUCH older (partly money and partly 'being responsible').
How old were / will your youngest child be when you retire? Beyond money, what considerations are there for you??
