I don't have a family yet but I'm planning on doing something similar. You are allowed to retire at the age of 67 in Germany (well at least for my age group - I'm 29), so I calculated how much money I would need to live in my home town which is in Turkey. Depending on how much I can save now, I would be able to retire earlier. However I still need to come up with a good idea on what to do there because I cannot imagine doing nothing 24/7. Usually I get bored after the first half of a two weeks vacation. As for work life balance, I count myself lucky to have 30 days of paid vacation at my current job.
