Many, if not most, people are eager to retire — yet a heck of a lot of us don’t think we’ll be able to do so anytime soon. Indeed, a 2016 Willis Towers Watson survey found that while about 30% of working Americans plan to retire before age 65, fully 46% expect to retire after 65.
That does make some sense, as millions of Americans just haven’t saved enough to support them through an early retirement. It doesn’t mean that you are out of luck, though. It can be terrific to retire early, and it might be more attainable than you think.
