I've known a couple of folks who retired in their early 50s and got bored and went back to work, sometimes part-time, sometimes in a completely different field.
My dad retired at 58. He traveled and did some other things the 1st year, but he got bored and started a consulting business after that. He was somewhat selective on the jobs he accepted, and he certainly didn't work anything close to 40 hrs. He did that for 3-4 more years before quitting for good.
I guess my goal is to have enough money to retire at 62 if I want to. Also, my wife is a few years older than me so it would mean we'd be able to retire pretty close together.

My goal is 62 also. There’s definitely a fine line of knowing when to call it quits and walking away. I retired from the Army when I was 38. I’ve been at my current job for almost 10 years. In that time we’ve had 2 guys that were past retirement age die while still working. One guy extended his retirement by a year so he could pay off his motorcycle faster. He died on the day he was supposed to retire. He had plans to ride all over the US and Canada during retirement.
shite like that makes you realize that working too long ain’t worth it. Enjoy life as much as you can and stop doing the grind as soon as possible.

I have a very similar plan except my wife is three years younger. I'm 57 and plan to retire from the plant with 32 years service at 62.
Answer to the OP is my cousin retired at 47 from South Central Bell/ATT with 28 years service. How, I have no clue. LOL Maybe because his wife still works as an RN.
