I'm 60 and retired in 2000.
No it's not too young to stop working.
Make sure you have enough income to keep you in the life-style you want ... if that's important to you - at least make sure you're not so broke you have NO choices.
Believe me; you can live very well on not much.
Have a bit of a plan of what you want to do with your time.
Have a raison d'être - if you don't have one of those you'll die of boredom - I never get bored - in fact there aren't enough hours in the day.
The importance of having some goals for after you retire is that when you achieve one goal you really need a coupla others lurking in the background or on the side-lines you can swing to.
There’s nothing worse than attaining a goal and feeling the loss and emptiness which quickly follows.
It makes sense when you think all your attention and energies are going into this one project and suddenly the project is no more – the attention and energy still needs some place top go. I think I’m making some sense in there somewhere.
I’ve got goals that reach out at least 4 or 5 years.
Oh, writing them down can help you focus, too.

If you have your finances in order, go for it. The only reasons not to do so other than financial would be:
1. You love your job.
2. You would be bored with nothing to do.
Personally, I would retire right now if I could, and do all those things that I never have time to do.

Not at all. I am 52 as well and have served my time in the military. I joined when I was young.
I also have done a civilian job in medical field for over 10 yrs.
I am happy that I can retire and just enjoy physical fitness
