ER'd at 52 (54 now 55 in Dec 2005) - second best thing I have ever done (marriage #1). Most of my calcs are based on SS at 62 - I have 35 years in SS system and have heard rumors of raising to 38. Also method of changing COLA is rumored.
The longer that I am retired the less I am attracted to the aggressiveness that I think is necessary to compete in today's job market for higher paying positions.
Predictions ......How will SS changes affect ER's?? I am not that interested in the good or bad things that are necessary - rather the effect on early retirement present and future. Based upon my former employers actions - there is a tendency to push out middle managers and bring in youth and I am not sure that a lot of 50+ folks will have a lot of opportunity in today's market place.
What do you think??
