Breaking Every Retirement Rule To Be Off Now, Not Later
More workers in their 20s and 30s are tempted to borrow years of freedom from their future selves to enjoy some of their retirement while they are still young.

2 个月I mini retired for 3 years, after selling up my old business. It was weird, not working, so I went and studied what I originally wanted to do as a career after high school, and studied photography. Every weekend, I flew or did road trips, photographing.
