I Retired Young
What I do, and what it costs
I retired young, and so far it's been great.
I was 47 years old, had fallen out of love with my job, so I quit. That was a scary decision - I didn't know how much it would cost to live or what I would do with my extra free time.
Because I struggled to find answers to these questions, I decided to blog about my journey to financial freedom and my early retirement experience. I hope it may help others in a similar situation.
My posts set out my monthly costs, the decisions and choices that helped me achieve financial freedom and early retirement, and some of what my retired early life looks like - what I do during my old working hours. There's probably some other nonsense thrown in as well, so apologies for that!
At the end of the day, I'm just a pretty average guy. That's good news, because I figure that if I can do it, then probably you can too, if that's your dream.
