However, they are now writing books, blog posts, and newsletters, and giving talks and hosting podcasts about their “retirement” - all activities that often generate income. A number of prominent voices in this community tout how they have “retired” at very early ages. I like this idea a lot more than much of the usual Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) literature. By keeping expenses low, aggressively growing your income, and investing, you will reach a point where you have a lot more options. But the idea is that once you start working, you should structure your life and finances so that after about 15 years, you’re mostly working because you want to, not because you have to. No, you don’t need to retire at age 37 (or in your mid-40s if you went to grad school). They also advanced this intriguing idea: You should think of your career as being about 15 years long. They offer various suggestions for building up savings and seeing that wealth grow through investing. I recently read (and mostly enjoyed) Julien and Kiersten Saunders’ personal finance book, Cashing Out. ![]()
