Pick apart my retirement plan

[Maxhunter]

The biggest thing is have zero debt if you can do it. Have an emergency fund and put money away for your next vehicle purchase. Health insurance is the big thing because you never know what health issues might come down the road. Retirement is great but you have to keep active. Your plan looks pretty solid to me. Congrats on having a plan so you can retire early in your life.

Here’s what I’ve found out:

In retirement you can only hunt and fish so much. After a while it gets to be a grind. This fall I spent 3 months hunting elk, moose and deer. After that left an unopened buck tag on the shelf.

It sure sounds sexy when you’re working, thinking about all hunts and fishing you can do….

Another thing about retiring early is almost everyone else is still working. Again it sure sounds sexy to be able to go off and do things by yourself, but there are times that a good hunting partner is fun to have along.

Maybe the buddy can’t get off work. Maybe their wife has a honey do list for them when you want to go.

Just a couple things I’ve noticed over the past few years after I retired early.

It’s not all about the money.
