Congratulations! My wife and I retired in our mid-fifties, debt free. We also started working in our early teens and were self-supporting out of high school.
You might laugh at whose advice I listened to. In the movie "Saturday Night Fever", John Travolta's boss in the paint store. When Travolta said "F*** the future!", the boss said "No, the future F***'s you (if you don't plan for it)". My wife and I planned to retire early, started to work the plan in our twenties.
It’s awesome, isn’t it? I’m one year in and I just can’t believe how WONDERFUL it is to not have to ‘go to work’ every day and instead be able to, ‘work’ at what I love! :)
