I never thought I'd be jealous of old men at a park.

It's my day off and I decided to take my morning tea to a park by the river. It's a bit past 8am here and the retirees are out fishing or talking. I envy them for being able to wake up and do as they please. I envy them for being able to slow down and enjoy what's around them. I wish I wasn't stuck with working or rushing around everywhere. I'd love nothing more than to enjoy tea in nature and wander wherever the day takes me.

Just something to ponder on..,

Lets just say the average person lives till 70 years of age.
If you retire later 65+ thinking you'll recieve the full amount available to you.
If you retire early at 62 years of age you'll recieve what ever it is at that time.

The person who retires early, will get more in return total on average.
Why, because while your still working the person opting to retire early is already collecting.

No one knows when they'll fall ill or pass. And early retirement means your still able to enjoy life providing your healthy.

Life is good..!
