I retired at age 52, five years ago, and haven't looked back. My goal is
to do all the strenuous things I like to do before my body entirely lets
me down. It's a race against time, but unfortunately time always ends up
winning, so you need a good head start to even stay in the race for
awhile. You don't need all that much money to retire and have your fun.
Once my children's educations were assured and my debts were paid, it
was goodbye to the work-a-day world, and hello to the outdoor life.

Your last check should be to the undertaker, and it should bounce.
