How to know when it's time for you to retire?

Finding out it's time for you to retire is not as easy as it seems. Typically, we take a standard path toward life, ending with retirement. The progress is relatively straightforward, from school to the first job and the lifelong working career. 

Take a helicopter view of your life and think about what you have achieved. Did you reach your goals, or did something else happen? In most cases, we are so occupied with our lives that this reflection doesn't pop up until it's time for you to retire.
