The Modern Way to Retire Early | Get to the good stuff sooner

The world has changed, yet the traditional cold turkey retirement is still mainstream...WHY? What if you could get to the good stuff sooner? How much energy would you have? Would your health improve? Would your relationship with your spouse and children get stronger? Would you, just simply be happier?

For many the answer to all those questions and more is a resounding YES, and unfortunately they don't see a clear path to get there. Now this is no trick, or easy get rich quick scheme, and you don't even have to buy real estate! The concept is to either slow down for longer, OR (and this one is my favorite) actually do something you enjoy doing every day, so that work... well isn't really work. You still need a portfolio and you will still need some traditional planning to see what age this can start at, and how much money is needed each year.

This concept doesn't work if you're 50 and don't have any savings, the idea is the start the benefits of the retirement you're starting to envision, EARLIER. Would spending more time with the grandkids 2 years earlier make your life better? How about snow birding to Florida 4 years earlier than you thought possible? If you could play golf mostly when you want to for 5 years before you previously planned, would that increase your happiness?

Start viewing you retirement for what it allows you to do, not what you get to stop doing!
