Retiring Too Early

It may seem like a good idea to go ahead and retire early so you can enjoy a few extra years, but can be a big mistake.  Before you make this decision remember that you drastically decrease your Social Security benefits so plan on that income not being available. Only you can decide when you’d like to retire but make sure you know exactly where you stand financially before pulling the trigger.  Good rule of thumb?  Most people can’t retire early.  Chances are, neither can you.
