I prefer Retirement.......
If you inherit a lot a money at a young age, that's a great option.
For most people, its still nice to have some money coming in.
Without an inheritance or other significant advantages (paid my own way thru college), we were able to start this lifestyle (working part time and traveling full time) at age 37 because we could work remotely. We've been able to continue saving for retirement and at 51 we are looking at a year or two transitioning to full retirement.
An extra 30yr (compared to retiring at the SS official 67) is sure nice.
Inherited $$$....Hahahaha
Dad was a independent welder in the oilfield.....Mom was a Mom
She taught me about saving $$
And I did.....retired 2 months shy of turning 50 yrs old
Inheritance.........yep. Inherited my own hard earned $$$
That was 18 yrs ago ---- thanks Mom for the '$$$' lessons taught
lesson LEARNED - PRICELESS !
