Whether yourself or someone you know....friend/relative. "Fail" would depend on the person. I don't consider RE to be 'never working again', so for me 'failing' would be either:
a) I find myself regretting the decision to quit my final well-paying job.
b) I find myself taking a job for the $$ that I would not otherwise want.
If so, why do you think you (or other person) failed? Bad assumptions? Unexpected event?

I over extended myself in Early Retirement investing in spec homes. I got stuck with 6 homes in 2013. They are all rented and are some if my best rentals, but I tied up a lot of cash and killed my liquidity.
Not a failure... But not what I planned by any means.

This is a popular question right now apparently. Here's a thread from 2 days ago. It's even still on the front page.
