Deep dives

Achieving Early Retirement

Achieving early retirement is illustrated through the story of a former financial advisor who retired at the age of 27 with a monthly passive income of nearly $20,000. This financial independence was made possible by investing in real estate, starting with a duplex purchase in Louisville, Kentucky, and leveraging book royalties from her self-published work. By 2019, she scaled her investments to 38 rental units and diversified her income streams, demonstrating that significant financial freedom can be attained in a short period. This emphasizes the growing trend of individuals pursuing financial independence and early retirement through strategic investments rather than traditional career trajectories.
