Increasingly more and more high flying professionals are retiring young, the majority I think was from the high flying banking and finance sector. This is not surprising as these high flyers like yourself made their fortune working day and night there. To be able to survive the intense environment there till their 40s is remarkable. Most younger ones who entered the industry would leave in their 30s as the pressure and stress is just too much. Anyway good for high flyers who have made enough to retire in their 40s enjoy the fruits of their labour. No point becoming slaves in such an environment which may bad for your health. You may also die young if you stay there too long.
