It takes years of planning and saving and wise investments to retire early.

I have been retired [@ age of 53] since early in 2000. During the last couple of years that I worked.....I made a lot more money in the stock market and other investments than what I made working.

The down turn of the stock market started [March 2000] shortly after I retired and continued for several more down years. It was frighting to see my investments srink but I have survived the situation........Retiremnet has been great and would not have changed anything.

I can go hunting and fishing anytime I want to.....but now my body will not let me go every day without letting me know it needs some rest.
