    I would really not recommend talking to a financial advisor about this without really knowing what you want. They are, by their nature, quite financially conservative, and their main clientele are people who are in their 50s or older. “Retiring early” to them, means retiring at 58.

      Uh, I’ve had a financial advisor since my 20s…

      Biggest thing is getting one that is a fiduciary.

      I also take it you’re young, due to your snark, since retiring at 58 is a dream most will never see.

      Seriously, how many people in their 50s do you directly know that are or have retired?

        I retired at 32. This is what most people mean when they talk about early retirement. See my much longer comment in this thread.
