Early Retirement in Ireland—What It Really Takes.
Most think they need millions to retire early. The reality might surprise you.
Hi ,
Have you ever considered stepping away from the 9–5 years earlier than planned—trading long commutes and work deadlines for more time with family, travel, or simply living life on your terms?
For many in Ireland, retiring before 65 feels out of reach. Yet, with the right financial strategy, leaving the workforce in your 50s—or even at 50—is often more realistic than it seems.
Next Wednesday, we’re publishing a step-by-step guide on how to retire early in Ireland in 2025. It covers:
✅ How much you’ll really need to retire early
✅ How to take a 25% tax-free lump sum from your pension
✅ Whether the FIRE movement could work for you
✅ Smart ways to fund retirement abroad
✅ Common mistakes people make when exiting work too soon
But if you can’t wait to see if early retirement is within your reach, you don’t have to.
You can book a free, no-obligation consultation with one of our expert pension advisors today. They’ll show you exactly what’s possible for your situation – and the steps you can take now to make it a reality.
Spots are limited before the August rush, so if early retirement is on your radar, don’t miss this.
Sincerely,
The National Pension Helpline Team
