My dad retired when he was 43 with a family of 5. He then took the family over to Australia and retired there.
As someone who witness his post retirement life, I will caution those who are retiring young without a proper post retirement plan.
First and foremost, retirement days are long and boring. After 1 year, I could see my dad was bored out of his mind. He started to micro manage his 3 teenagers life, and needless to say he was major PITA and our relationship soured.
Secondly, it was very financially dangerous as he started to dabble with online gambling via trading stocks and CFD. Initially it paid off but soon after he began to lost alot of money. He then invested in a franchise, but that failed as well.
Thirdly he lost his mental sharpness as a result of the above. he was very successful when he was young and had accumulated alot of assets. However he lost a lot of money when he disposed of a few aluable assets just prior to the 2008 boom.
It is however not all doom and gloom la. His 3 kids went on to get almost full scholarships so he only spent less than 100k for their education. Each kid has 2 degrees so pretty good value there. All the kids are also self sufficient and reasonably successful in career, never needing money from him even when buying their first homes.
He is naturally a hawk so the retirement life didn't suit him at all. At 55 he went back to work full time and now runs 3 businesses.
I would say no matter how wealth you are... dont let your mind and body do nothing like your case for your dad....
at least some healthy exercise... and run up a small biz like what your dad did at the end of now.
