Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
It is undeniable that retirement has been one of the most common things in everyone’s work life. While it is argued by some that leaving your job and stopping working because of having reached a particular age is unacceptable for some careers, others consider that many people could early retire and get a government pension. I agree with that viewpoint and believe that workers should be able to early retire if they like.
