What Is The Early Retirement Benefits?

If you are of a certain age and you are lucky enough to financially be able to stop working, why don't you? Thanks to budget cuts in public service and pressure to recruit on private companies, the older generation are under increasing pressure to stop working earlier.

If you are one of these people and you are not sure about whether you should stop working or not because you are worried about how big  a change it will be to your life, to not be working. Here are a few excellent reasons why you should hang up your working shoes, take off your life overalls and have a well-earned bath in retirement bliss.

Long Lies

How many times have you groaned as you alarm has gone off at 7 am? How  many times have you begrudged the daunting commute to commute to work either crammed on a bus or train or getting stressed out on a hairy drive with equally coffee stoked drivers on all sides? Now think about what life would be like if you gave up working: no more stress in the morning, get up when you want and smile imagining how you used to battle your way to your place of work.

No One To Answer To

No longer will you have to answer to your boss. Or if you are the boss, no longer will you have to answer to everyone else. When you give up work you dump a whole heap of responsibility that only ever seems to grow as you get older.

Holidays

While previously you probably had to arrange for time off to go on holiday and you would have had to do so at time when flights and accommodation are at a premium and beaches seem to be at their busiest everywhere in the world Now you can go on holiday any time you  want, take advantage of last minute deals even stay longer if you really want to.

More Time to Yourself

Early retirement gives you the opportunity to do everything you always wanted to do but never had time for. This might involve spending your entire retirement income on jigsaw puzzles, or it might involve climbing all of the highest mountains in the world. Early retirement is a time when your life becomes entirely your own at last and you can put everything you always wanted to do first.

After all, by that point most people have earned that right.
