Same here. I have good retirement savings and a paid for house but I think I would need to see 10 -12 K secure income inflation protected and health care benefits to have that make sense for me. I am past the concept of early retirement now at 57 but if I was in my mid 40's today for my own sense of financial security I would expect I would need over 4 million in investments plus insurance to have the lifestyle I want through retirement years. I do not suspect most folks on this board are trying to retire in a tiny house and grow most of their own food so I suspecgt most have done a great job to accumulate assets, have acceess to heatlh care benefits or have a lot of money dedicates to pay for it or have a higher risk tolerance or better market assumptions than I do. The only way I see this is health care, higher risk tolerance and higher accumulated assets than I have been able to do. Fortunately I like what I do and 65 is likely my earliest time frame.
In this spirit, $5M invested assets and a paid off home is my target for financial independence. Health care is definitely another consideration…not going to worry about that one until I am closer to accomplishing the former.

I always thought that if I had to retire early it would be fun to teach math or science at a private school. Maybe I’m nuts.
