Retire Early Advice on investments, health care, and insurance so you can step off the treadmill
Just look at Susan Bloomfield, 58, who works in quality assurance for General Motors (GM ). She'll take an early retirement later this year to realize her dream of living by the water with her sailboat docked behind her house. She started planning for that goal in the late 1990s, working with a financial adviser to build up her nest egg. You may also choose to pursue another career, as former Best Buy (BBY ) executive Duane Hoff did. He gave up the corporate world in his 40s to open a Napa Valley winery. Or maybe you would rather donate time and expertise to a worthy cause. Michael Stauff, 58, former CFO of a semiconductor company, volunteers as a consultant to community organizations that need a professional manager's expertise. In short, early retirement is a blank canvas, and you paint the picture. In this Special Report, we give you advice on investments, health care, and insurance—all with the goal of helping you create your masterpiece.
