Older. I have a fantastic job.

My first real window is at 60. That would be right about a 6-figure retirement income.

but i still have huge goals i want to meet and i will need to keep going.

Yes. If my health starts to dip earlier than 70, then I'll go earlier.

everybody i see says retire as early as possible you won't regret it.

This may very well be true for those people, but you still need something to do - and that something costs money, usually. You have more time to engage in expensive hobbies, so I think most folks underestimate how much they need in retirement. I'm going to be in Forever House within 30 months, likely, and it is going to be expensive.

So, I project retiring relatively older, but very well.
