Retire in your 40s

Want to retire in your 40s? It's actually a math problem 🔥💰 Here is the 60 second breakdown. Step 1 — Know your FIRE number 🔢 Multiply your annual expenses by 25. That is your target portfolio size for life. Spend $50K a year → you need $1,250,000 Spend $60K a year → you need $1,500,000 Step 2 — Pull the savings rate lever 📊 Saving half your income cuts your working life down to just 17 years. Start at 25 and you could be done at 42. Step 3 — Stack the three pillars 💪 ✅ Intentional spending — spend less than you earn, relentlessly ✅ Aggressive index investing — low cost, diversified, consistent ✅ Income growth — earn more, invest more, retire faster Consistency is everything. This is not luck. It is a system. 👆 Are you working toward early retirement?
