Have you met your retirement savings goal and feel ready to retire at 60? You're not alone. Thanks to a more-than-decade-long bull run in the stock market, many Americans have reached their targets ahead of schedule and are gearing up to retire. They don't care that they have to wait at least two years to begin collecting Social Security.
They have the cash and are excited to pursue their passions, volunteer, start a new career, or finally take it easy. Those who are successful at it understand that retiring at 60 requires a lot of planning — from how they manage their money to how they pay for health care (Medicare doesn't kick in until 65), to what they do with their time.
