There isn’t a certain age when you should start planning your retirement lifestyle, it’s really when you reach a particular state of mind.

For instance, do you find yourself getting bored at your job? Are you thinking “there has to be more to life than this?” Do you feel pulled to do something more or different with your skills and talents?
