Retire at 60
My goal is to retire at 60. This came about before I found the Choose FI podcast , and after listening to the podcast my goal didn't change, but my desire for this to happen has been strengthened. Why retire at 60? I have known several people who got diseases and died pretty soon after they retired, or while they were still working. - Rick Prouse , died at 60 of liver cancer, while still employed/ -Rob Robinson. I can't find his obituary online, but I believe he was 62, while still employed, and died of a heart attack. - Jack Ballard , my amazing high school choir director, actually died at 81. And he retired probably at 65. The problem was that he suffered from Parkinsons and did not have a good quality of life for most of his retirement. -My father-in-law died at the age of 75, and I think he worked until he was 73. But he didn't have a lot of outside interests, and working gave him a purpose and something to do every day, so I can't say this falls into the poi...
