Man, what a thread. People suffer all manner of sickness, financial ruin, etc. And the OP has the unmitigated temerity to *complain* about early retirement: something most people can only dream about. Your great physical attributes also cause you grief too, wow you bear a terrible cross. And you post this:

On a luxury watch forum no less! A forum with many wealthy folks that could give a 'tinkers damn' about this so-called 'success' story.

Good God man, follow through with some volunteer work. Persue some extra education, give *anonymously* to charitable organizations, hell - do anything except complain about how your father's hard work put you in such a horrific situation.

Usually, if a thread doesn't appeal to me - I skip it. After reading a few replies I couldn't stop myself from commenting. Forgive my hard edged remarks but I can't help but be appalled by this kind of post.

You're probably a decent enough person, but I cannot sympathize with you or your burden. Good luck - I do mean that sincerely.

I mean after all, you are part of the self described GOAT club.

I could psycho analyze this post for days.

I feel the same.

I retired at 49 also.....im 61 now. I use to asked about it but now i look old so nobody says anything. I "should" have worked till 55 but thought i had enough money but really didn't....Now I lost 40 percent of income with wife dying and have to move and "start over" at 61 is not much fun....Im ok money wise I just have to watch my spending and cant blow money watches anymore.

Whoah whoah whoah...

Let’s not make this about the range rovers please.

And 20,000 miles, no issues.

Stop embarrassing yourself son.

And apologise for the bad language.

Where did you graduate as an engineer?
