A friend of mine recently retired. He said that his financial advisor said he was fine to retire at any time, but he was doing easy hybrid remote work and thought to keep working to save up a little more.
While this was happening, he reconnected with an old girlfriend out of state. He’d visit her once a month or so. They made plans for him to move out there once he retired.
He eventually retired and had moved out to be with his girl. After a few months her cancer came back and took her out within a month.
That was maybe 4 months ago. He told me the two biggest regrets he has is not retiring earlier, and not spending more money. It went unspoken that he wanted to have spent more time with his lady.
I’m not one to cry, but taking the train home after that chat had my eyes welled up.
