The war in Yemen could be stopped by any major country in the world, but it lacks major resources and so no one cares.
Once called the best coffee in the world, now it barely exists.
You think we have it bad.

Early retirement improves your health. The Amish retire at 50 (just like the Levites were told to), and they have improved longevity compared to those who work till 65.

As does honey and a sliced in half onion.
Its ironic that honey is the cure for a honeybee sting.
Working a secular job from 20 to 50 tends to improve health (assuming a reasonably healthy job). Beyond 50 its counter productive. Older bodies can only take so much. They are not as resilient as younger bodies.
Of course, we should do the Lord's work forever.

I could not figure out why God commanded the Levites to retire from the work of the temple at age 50 and move into management. Then I turned 50. Now I know why.
Yeah, and they also don't recover easily.

Am I supposed to bring a gift to your sweet 16 party?
Here is a calculator, based on historical financial asset performance, to let you know if you are on track to save enough to retire at 50. A 50 year old, withdrawing 4% per year (SEPP) from an IRA invested in an inexpensive 60/40 index fund, would have had about a 2.7% chance of running out before age 80. 3.6% chance by 90.
Just input your own numbers to find out how your IRA would have performed historically. Of course, the future is never exactly the same as history. It only rhymes. So allow for an additional safety factor.
