Thought about this for a while.. was going to do a poll, but didn't seem appropriate. Ok, I retired relatively early (Age 47 - Jayne age 41 - Molly -2) - we had LONG planned - around 10 years to be honest - to accomplish this. for us, the ability to do it at this age was - Understanding to the best of our ability of costs. accumulation of skills. Lack of need of the material existence - only to be fair - by having been there ! - The uk house price rip off - and the fact that I was in a very well payed job in the NHS with 23 years for pension - allowing me to take my pension at 50.. just kicked in... not a lot, but manageable and far preferable to the 'old' life.
we are not loaded.. don't have much in relative terms as capitol, but have a regular small income.
we would NEVER go back to the old world of cars, houses, jobs, accumulating and general society type bs and all it brings..
Anyways.. thats a very brief outline of our journey.
WHAT did you do ?? .. how.. (If you dont mind fessing up)
or, WHEN do you intend to..
how many make a plan and then let it drag on for years ?.
Its not about yotting in the great scheme.. or indeed sailing.. its a means to an end - for us .. its freedom, literally . from the past and its constraints..
where do you fit in ??.. if you aint done it... when and how ?.. what are the long term plans etc..
Hopefully it will help others in the same planning position..
It is more a state of mind than a true plan.. the state of mind allows the plan to work.. for us...
