Just How Early Can, and Should, You Retire?

Retirement should be the most exciting ‘next step’ in your life! If you’re trying to figure out just how soon you can retire and get on with the rest of your life, you should be using a number of tools, including the AARP Retirement Calculator, which can help you figure out your expenses in the long term. Consulting with your financial planner is also important, and you should always be over-prepared for retirement, not underprepared. Retirement is a big step, but it should be an exciting time in your life, not a scary one!
