Meet Dale. Back in 1977, Dale was working with Hayes making dial-up modems (as in Hayes of the "AT command set"). At age 35, "Dale decided his privately held Hayes stock was worth enough to retire and live well". Since then he tinkers with electronics, and his robot webpage is a good resource for amateur robogames builders and a very interesting read.

There are many, many people like this... you have probably talked to them or met them but you may not know that they have either already retired or have enough money to retire anytime and just working for fun.
- ksaj 5y agoI'm 52 and effectively retired. There's a very small chance I'll do a gig here and there, but only if they are really interesting to me. I was going to retire at 55, but Covid lockdowns sped up my plans a little.
- synergy20 5y agoanyone can retire anytime, but it's the financial part that makes the call. I wonder how much is enough to retire at early 50s: typical family still have kids attending college, medicare is not kicked in,etc. unless I am going to make a fortune somehow, I see no way for me to retire in early 50s, but if I win a lottery, I probably will retire.
