Retired by Fifty - Where are they now? by Liz Pulliam Weston is a follow-up story on five couples that had retired before 50 in the past couple years. Three couples had retired from corporate jobs, lived off investments and kept working part time. One couple sold their businesses and lived on the investment income and part time work. One couple had government jobs, with one retiring after 20 years with a pension and one quitting after 14 years, both to start their own businesses.
For all these couples, early retirement didn't go the way they had planned. However, while the financial crisis of 2008 has been challenging, it seems to me that these early retirees have stayed retired through having enough saved, living within their means, and having the ability to work part time for supplemental income.
