I think it partially comes down to most financially well off folks have advanced degrees, they often plan for the long game, have strong work ethics, and a strong drive the overachieve in whatever their doing. Entering retirement at an early age suddenly gives you endless white space to fill; hobbies only go so far and most of your close friends still have to go to work. I started at age 13 and had an adult career that spanned almost 30 years so having this much free time is still new to me.Yep. What’s weird is the people that struggle with this type of decision are usually financially well off enough to retire. Me? I’ll likely die on the job. Medicare sucks.
