I am able to devote my time in pursuing my hobbies and passion as well as giving back to society. Retiring at 55 is now becoming more common especially for those who have done well in their careers. There is no need to work any longer just to afford a more expensive home or car. I wouldn’t want to work another 10 years so that I can buy a bungalow. A condominium unit would suffice for my retirement lifestyle.
