God these threads bring out the OTT habis drama big time. The best advice for all posters 50 something or less is to save big time when you can and don’t retire at 45 or 55 like sooo many on here brag about and then when you do want to retire to Thailand over 55 or more you easily have a measly 800k in savings. THATS what should be discussed on TVF more!! 

i think what needs to be discussed is that many here

got injured in work and got into early retirement,

so the lot you just wrote dont apply one iota

Very true.  In the US I have read that 40% of retirements are involuntary.
