It's not that hard to save 50%+ of your income so you can retire in 10 to 15 years
@RootofGoodBlog Justin what you and your wife accomplished in just about ten years was a real inspiration to my wife and I. It’s those last two years or so where the magic of compounding really shined, and it is that spread sheet that encouraged me,an average guy, that it can be done. Thank you
@RootofGoodBlog Also to be fair I slightly diverted from 100% index investing to an indexed core and thoughtful company selection with individual stocks. On another note, I love how you are a living example of someone who started with a nice nest egg, early retired for years, with way more now.
@RootofGoodBlog only if one stops living to impress people who don’t care
@RootofGoodBlog Saving 50% is far easier than expecting to live off savings for 50 years. Started reading you at 18. I'm now 27. Income was below 10k now 95k. Have 250-290k by year end. So 10 year would put me at 300-340k and 15 yr would be 500-600k assuming no job loss. I always prepped for 55.
