Support in Fort Morgan would be appreciated

I don't think I can really talk to my friends about this stuff but want to talk about it.

From as early as I could remember my dad was talking about retirement. As soon as I graduated from college he retired, he was 61. I listened to his advice on investing as soon as I started working.

I'm in my early 40s now and just started thinking of retirement. I plugged things into a Coast Fire calculator and it said I was over the Coast Fire number I needed. It had me at full Fire in another 9 years, so early 50s. I like my job so I am going to keep working and start paying off my mortgage faster.

I've told my parents I would be able to retire in my early 50s. My mom thinks that is crazy, my dad just says, make sure you have health insurance. My dad also tells me I can buy more baseball cards now that I have hit my Coast Fire number.
