Retiring before 65 is more possible than you think

Society lies to you about building wealth

Here are 5 steps to retire early and enjoy your life NOW

//THREAD//
“Retirement” in the dictionary means:

“Leave your job at the normal age of stopping employment”

Retirement SUCKS unless you know what makes you fulfilled

Why wait until you’re old and shrivelled to enjoy your life?

Follow the 5 steps in this thread to reach freedom
1. Keep Your Expenses Low

My wife and I can:

>Get a Lambo
>Buy a big house
>Go on luxury vacations

But we want to live below our means

Keeping your expenses low = mind at peace

Every dollar represents freedom

Will an expensive mortgage be enough to replace freedom?
2. Start Plating Your Money Seeds

A day job caps your earning potential at the number of hours you work

You need to create an asset that makes money whilst you sleep

One of the best ways to make money is to start a business around your hobby.
Example:

My tennis instructor lost most of his students during COVID

So he created an online business selling virtual tennis

His business is growing and he released a successful digital product

Start a business around areas you love and it won’t feel like work!
3. Know Your Numbers

Financial Freedom is not working harder so you can make more money to spend

One year, we were 50k short of our goal

So we put together an email campaign to make up for it

We hit our goal, but we had to work 12 hour days over the holidays to get there.
All for more money?

Stop setting meaningless goals

Sit down and figure out how much you need to achieve financial freedom

Retirement is about how much you need to be free

And not letting money dictate your life.
4. Plan Out Your Perfect Day

I was taught that “suffering now” always leads to success later in life

This is wrong

Retiring early doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your happiness now

Think about what makes you happy and add it to your schedule.
What makes me happy:

>Playing tennis
>Lunch with my wife
>Walks with my family

Remember to work in what you love to do

You will enjoy the grind of running a business a lot more.
5. Finding Meaning In Your Work

I never plan to “retire” in the traditional term

I’m already retired because I enjoy my work!

Retiring is finding activities to leveraging monetarily so it doesn’t feel like work.
Summary

Ask yourself:

>How much money do you need to live comfortably?
>How do you want to spend your days?
>Who do you want to be around?

Create your perfect days around activities you enjoy

Plant your money seed by starting a business around your interests and knowledge.
