Financial downsides of early retirement

I budget for 0.2-0.3% of NW as an expense in my SWR addition to wealth tax. Discussed in this thread

I don’t count the payouts in my retirement model. Given the choice I would prefer to delay RE so my finances stand up on their own before retirement age and not be in the situtation where I am waiting for AVS to kick in. I keep it in my back pocket as an emergency plan
