I retired early and now live in genteel poverty.

Tragically, I had to give up the polo matches. And naturally no more charter jets.

Of course, I no longer own an alarm clock. Enjoy coffee and cigars in the courtyard whenever the mood strikes. Go to the range if I feel like it. Read a book if I feel like it. Putter in the garage if I feel like it. Take a walk if I feel like it. Veg out if I feel like it. And did I mention naps?

At my current rate my accountant says I will be able to retire 3 months after I die.

Would love to semi retire at 50 and find a nice relaxing job to keep busy at if it was possible.

I will retire as early as I can afford to and still live my basic current lifestyle. What good is being rich if you are too old or too feeble to enjoy it?
