Retirement is not a factor of your age but your financial state.

It's stupid to think my country will be able to pay me pension - I'm skeptic about the current system will survive another 40-50 year and pay me back what I need to live comfortably.

So FIRE is just a sane provision for the future. The "early" part is different for everybody. If I can retire at 50 instead of 65 its early enough for me.
