Retire early: is it realistic for you?

More people than you'd think are seriously considering it: retiring early. Not necessarily to do nothing, but to have the freedom to choose. To decide what you do with your time. That desire is completely understandable. But whether it's achievable depends on concrete factors that most people have never really thought through or calculated properly.

The gap between the dream and reality

Early retirement sounds like freedom, and it is. But that freedom needs a financial foundation. It's not just about how much you've saved or invested. It's about how long that money needs to last, what your fixed costs are, whether your partner still works, and what you want to do with those years. Someone who wants to stop at 55 has a very different calculation than someone aiming for 45.

Questions that actually matter

• What are your monthly fixed costs now, and how would they change if you stopped working?
• How much wealth have you built, and what is the expected return if you let it keep growing?
• At what age can you access pension and state benefits, and how large is the gap to bridge?
• What would you do with your time when you stop? Do you have a concrete picture of that?
• Is your partner also involved in this decision, and is your financial situation aligned?
