I retired at 42 after 20 years in the hospital setting. My mom had a massive stroke at the young age of 64. In order to keep her at home with my dad, I opted to retire early so I could better balance taking care of my mom and raise my young family. I continue to take care of her. I know work from home with a great wellness company. I do miss all my buddies at the hospital, however it is a blessing to take care of the people that mean the most to me...my family.
