Same, I can think of several people I know that fit this category -- they've built enough wealth and WFH/furlough gave them a taste for what they were missing by not having retired early -- so they retired early I just hope they actually spend some of that wealth rather than keeping it sat in savings account I also hope they look at young people today and recognise the economic difficulties many are facing: getting on the house ladder, getting stable employment, getting above inflation pay rises
