My parents retired in their mid 40s. They traveled around the country and volunteered at state parks. They didn't regret it.

I am now in my mid 40s and I have enough to retire now, but I will probably work another 5-10 years until my youngest kid finishes college. We want to do some extended traveling and my wife wants the kids completely independent before we spend extended time away. I would get extremely bored just hanging around the house.

If we had remained DINKS, 45 would have been realistic and we would have travelled for at least a 1/3 of the year as “retirement”. With children, we will keep the cash flowing in from active work at least until 50.

I will likely become a college professor and/or become a CFP to do pro bono financial literacy coaching. I’m passionate about the life change from financial planning and I would love to do that without compensation expectations (or requirements).
