as long as you can still make money, don't even think about retiring early, I know early retirement is everyone's dream but who knows what will happen next, you have to maintain your grades and productivity so that you stay healthy and respected by people.

I think any kind of retirement is a bad idea for a lot of people. Work keeps people minds sharp and their body healthy (decent work, not sitting 10 hours in a chair work). Once those kinds of workers go into retirement, they become lonely and sad. They have nothing to do with their life. Every day becomes the same dull shade of gray. If you are in a job that you love and you work with people that you love then a money-making does not become the priority of a job but rather having a reason for living. Your purpose becomes your reason.

We see way too many people go from 70 to 100 in a matter of months. From my experience with the elderly, I think they may have been happier with a job or a reduced-hour job than with retirement.  Undecided


that might be a thing, it is indeed true that having job keep minds sharp, that also why many of entrepreneur refuse to have retirement but to work for his own company to the end of their life.
but some people will definitely have different idea about retirement, there's some people that don't really like their jobs doing 9-5 that just want retire young and get financially independent to do their hobbies.
which from their hobbies they can generate revenue and income from, its just as good as having job, keeping mind sharp, but you like to do your hobbies, therefore the supposed "work" become a fun thing to do.
I think thats what motivates many retire young, because they want to do something else.
