Retired in Her 40s with $600,000 -- and No Fancy Strategy

Retired in Her 40s with $600,000 -- and No Fancy Strategy

It’s possible to retire with less money than you think. Not everyone needs a multi-six figure income, 50% savings rate and two side hustles to retire early. That’s certainly not what Lisa, a 42 year old early retiree did in order to retire with $600,000 saved. She didn’t inherit money, never invested in real estate, never made a large income and never worked more than a 40 hour week. Instead, Lisa built her financial freedom the old-fashioned way: steady saving, smart investing, and a lifestyle that prioritized freedom over flash.
