Quotes to ponder:

"You can retire a lot earlier than most people if you have moderate living expenses. Even without a million dollars in investments."

"I believe most people who retire well under 60 will find they WANT to do some paid work occasionally to keep their minds sharp and to have challenging interactions with other adults."
