As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
The only regret I had retiring at 55 was that I didn't do it sooner. Life is so much less stressful and definitely more fulfilling.
I am with dmc on this. I needed to reach a threshold of capital and investment income before I felt the track was clear.
Looking back on the years since early retirement, I was basically accurate on most of my assumptions. A major exception was the rate of increase in the cost of private individual health insurance. I expected increases, but not at double-digit rates year after year. I had high deductible coverage from age 50 to 62... never had a claim that exceeded the deductible... so basically I "coulda" bought a new Bentley Continental Coupe GT with the money I paid for health insurance over those years. Sigh. I was probably better off being insured for catastrophic medical expenses than I would be on the open road driving a purring Bentley.
I like to think the insurance company bought the Bentley with my premiums. <wink>

Wow. And I have been planning to work until 70.
