Surprise, You Can Retire Now!
As a financial adviser, I regularly encounter people who believe they are still several years away from retirement. They are shocked when, after a careful review of their accounts, I tell them that they have sufficient funds to retire today. It's a privilege to be able to inform a client who has spent a lifetime working to reach this moment that it has arrived. I tell them, "You did it. You won."
However, just because you're financially ready to retire doesn't mean you're mentally ready. People who have spent their entire lives accumulating wealth have also spent their whole lives training
