Good comments from people who are living it. Been retired for some time. Carefully planned it and it is working very good.
A few points I would pass on:

Get as debt free as possible.. Lock up a long term line of credit.... If you need to borrow after your working income stops, banks will be tough, hopefully you wont need to borrow... If you retire before medicare eligible it can be very expensive...Many retires get their retirement funds gobbled up by family members who are consistently with financial woes....Also watch that travel is within your budget....Enjoy yourself and remember if you can fly 1st Class, do it, because if you don't, your kids Will ..
