How We Retired Early On $300,000 & How You Can Too

People who are able to retire early are lucky . I have 15 months till 65 and need to look at calling it quits, my only fear is running out of funds much later, thus keen on investing. What could be the safest possible ways to invest for cashflow, in order to afford lifestyle after retirement?

I believe the retirement crisis will get even worse. Many struggle to save due to low wages, rising prices, and exorbitant rents. With homeownership becoming unattainable for middle-class Americans, they may not have a home to rely on for retirement either.

The fact that you have income stream of $4000 per month makes all the difference and don't need to tap into your $300k. I doubt that will be able to do it without the income stream.

You lost me at “we have a $4000 a month income from working online “that’s not being retired. If you’re earning just under $50,000 a year, that makes your lifestyle feasible. I’ve been hoping to find out how you actually RETIRED with $300,000. 😐

My story is similar. I sold EVERYTHING and moved to Mexico and paid cash for home/car here. Only regret is I didn't do it sooner because it's been a great experience.

Overall, 51% of traders think this year would favor stocks, mutual funds, and other equity-based investments, despite Treasury yields and other safer cash-like investments paying big. I’m looking for opportunities in the market that could fetch me $1m ahead of retirement by 2025

🎉 You all inspired me & I quit my job yesterday, I'm 53. I was looking into the countries you mentioned & I have my 500k IHG points but I was able to book a year worth of cruises for about $1k/mo so I'll live on cruises first then branch out to maybe Thailand or one of the other places you mentioned. I also took your YouTube class & I will give that a shot soon. THANK YOU SO MUCH for leading the way. 🏆❤️🎉

As much as I enjoy all of your channels,.....the best part of your videos is the love and respect you show for each other,....and the back and forth between the 2 of you is flawless.

You mentioned house sitting on then I spent an hour down that rabbit hole and am AMAZED at the beautiful homes all over Europe in places I want to see! Two years to go until 62 and then we'll have our $4,000 per month in SS and work pensions without touching our savings! I'm so excited!! Many, many thanks to you both for teaching us that it's possible.

The only American who won't acknowledge this Administration's failed economic policies is Joe Biden. "Shrink-flation' is the least of our worries compared to rising rents and stagnant wages, but it is an undeniable indicator of how bad our inflation has gotten. I have $100k that i like to invest in a non-retirement account, any advice on that?

Shared to LinkedIn and Facebook. April 2 is my last day at work. Just turned 55 and we're making "the leap". Your content and story is great.

I’m 53 and retired 2 years ago with about $1000 pension and $750k cash that I earn $3,000/month invested in cds at 5%. I never touch my principal and when I reach age 62, I’ll have another $1800/ month hopefully. I’m actually retired and don’t need to work to produce an income stream as I’m debt free and money conscious. I just returned from Thailand and Vietnam for 3 months where my budget was about $1800/ month.

I love how so many of the commenters say $300k isn't enough - majority of Americans (singles and/or couples) don't have anywhere close to that amount saved when they retire. In fact, majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

First of all I must say, you guys look good together and the $4k monthly already set you guys well for this journey so I guess the moral lesson here is to figure out how to get up to this type of monthly income… but I can’t think of anyway that wont be like slavery to I and my wife

Watching your video today lifted a lot of my worries. I can’t thank you enough! I am close to retirement but have always felt nervous about making the jump. You set a great example for us that we can always make things work if we are willing to make some changes.

Excellent advice. Thank you for mentioning the mental aspect..the relief of not needing to maintain a property, furniture, HOA fees, taxes, utilities..the list goes on. Definitely there is a way & the "adjustment" might bring far more pleasure than one realizes prior. Well done.

From what I’m hearing is that your not actually retired. Your making you tube videos and some other things to make $4,000 a month. With the $300,000 in investments you could take out 4% a year which is $12,000, but would be best to let that money grow especially at your young age. The other is the need for health insurance which isn’t cheap and then there are taxes to pay on the income your making including the gain on your investments, etc. What I like is is that your doing your own thing and happy with your life style. Thanks for the video and continued success.

Your channel is such a blessing to everyone who needs a wake up call to think outside of the box! Can't say it enough, THANK YOU! Stay safe! Stay happy!😊❤😊

I absolutely love you both! You all give me hope, encouragement ~thank you all from my whole heart!

Wow!! Your story is inspirational. I really appreciate you sharing this because it will help so many people.
