How are you'se that posted that they are retired already doing it???? Family money, good luck, welfare?????? Im not trying to pick a fight but Im make better money than the average JOE (i have a medical degree), have been woking since I graduated college at 24, followed a financial advisors advise, only have one child, have a wife with a good job, watch what I spend, save when I can and I was just told by my advisor that Im looking at a 68ish retirement age...Im 40... thus 28 more years.... How are some saying they are in the 40's and retired....??? I cannot understand this.....
You must not be making that much...68 is way too old. My dad was a longshoremen and making 125k a year so he retired at 54. I'm a student with school paid for and 27 is obviously just a dream age...since I wont be making that much anytime soon. Maybe if I hit the jackpot or win big on all sports I can quit school..
Married 20 years two kids divorced last year. Lived off of one pay check for those full 25 years (Wifes) and invested my whole check into stocks, bonds, and some real estate. Lived well within our means and bought only what we needed in life. It takes time and it does not happen overnight but you can really save a lot of $$$ if you are committed.
One week ago while still in my 20s
and right now agree with betall as best thing I ever done
if sitting at a desk filling, drinking stale coffee and filling out paper work is really what makes me the happiest I can always do that at home. And if there is something else that will make me happier I can do that without work getting in the way
