Its awesome to be able to retire in the early 50's. However, I saw a lot of people die within 5 years after retirement (not sure of the correlation, but it seemed to be more than just a coincidence).
And you have to remember that its a lot of wear and tear on your body. Lots of people with blown discs, knee problems, various lung problems, etc. You really have to take precautions to keep yourself healthy (working out is a necessity as well).
Last thing - if you get on with a full-time department - its true what they say. You will eat some of the best food you have ever eaten! I hesitate to say that it was better than Mom's, but it was damn close!
