Helen’s Question

Dear Cordros,

I have been working in corporate services for 8 years now. I am currently considering retirement. Don’t get me wrong, I love what I do, I just don’t see myself working till old age. I would love to retire early and pursue other interests. I’ll be turning 30 very soon and would like to know the right time to retire and what must I do to retire early?
