Question: If you could retire at any age, what age would you choose and why?

QotD: Retiring
If you could retire at any age, what age would you choose and why? I would retire by age 30. Retiring would of course mean that I had enough money in the bank to last me the rest of my lifetime plus some extra. After "retiring" I would go be...

40? I think I'd just be getting started then. 34 is my "ideal age" and has been for a long time.

Depends on the job. The one that I have to pay the bills: Now. The other that doesn't pay (yet) as much: Never.
