I originally posted this to a different blog on February 9, 2015 when I was a sophomore in college. I’ve since shut down that other blog, and I’m re-posting this here.
According to a 2014 Gallup survey , the average U.S. retirement age is 62. But what if you could retire in half that time, by age 25?
There are two ways to retire early: make more or spend less. Most seem to make more, but you could also just spend less. Then you could travel the world, meet all kinds of interesting people, make music, create art, write books, whatever you want.
