I have heard that people have a tendency to die soon after retirement, though I don’t believe 18 months. Apparently whats dangerous is not the age or retirement per se, but that the transition from working to retirement is very stressful for some.

I have to agree with NewWorldOrder’s comment at the top: this post does echo a lot of Tim Ferris’ core message of mini-retirements. However, it is never too early to start thinking about what you want to do after retirement! Thanks for the post.

Yes 60 is little bit late. You are right with 30 or 40.

Life expectantcy is less for inner-city than suburbia. I moved to the country-side recently and I can see why.

For me retiring in such an old age is not advisable. How can one enjoy life after 60? I believe retirement is good at the age where everything is already in order or the person is already considered as complete. At 30 or 40 is best.

Well, I don’t know about the US, but here are the statistics for France:

“A 60 ans, l’espÃ©rance de durÃ©e de retraite des femmes est de 6,3 ans supÃ©rieure Ã celles des hommes, respectivement 24,4 et 18,2 ans en 2000,” (Le Monde)

For those who don’t understand French, it says that when retiring at 60, women have a life expectancy of 24,4 years and men of 18,2 years. I’m assuming it would be relatively similar?
