Early retirement isn’t rocket science, though sometimes it can seem like it.
Early retirees quit the rat race years (and sometimes decades) before the traditional retirement age of 62 to 65.
A high income is great, but that’s far from the only thing required to retire early. Investing in assets is a huge factor, as is your cash flow. Spend too much money, and you will never retire early.
Early retirees are confident. They believe that the wealth they’ve accumulated over their working career will be enough to sustain them for the rest of their lives.
