There is this general concept that you must be old when you retire, that retirement at a young age, say thirty, is difficult, if not impossible, for most people to accomplish. This is because retirement, to them, is living off a hunk of cash, which was either saved or inherited.

There is this general concept that you must be old when you retire, that retirement at a young age, say thirty, is difficult, if not impossible, for most people to accomplish. This is because retirement, to them, is living off a hunk of cash, which was either saved or inherited.

This is probably the worst way to go about it. It will take you forty years to save up this kind of money, but it could take you less if you make a high salary and you lower your standard of living during retirement.

Do you want to see a better way? Examine your work. What are you getting from your work? Probably just paychecks. Are you building anything? No! Instead, you are shaving off pieces of these measly paychecks year after year, all the while hoping that you save enough by the time you are too old to work that you have enough money to live on until you die.

What if you were building something that whole time, say, your own business, which could be a company or a group of investments? You could retire within a few short years! Why? You will have an income that comes in automatically. This is what retirement is all about; retirement is freedom. Retirement is not living off a pile of money.

If you want to be rich, you can keep building these systems. However long you do this process of building is however rich you are going to be. Within five years, you can build a big enough of an income to live a decent life. If you work more, you will be able to afford a higher standard of living forever.

Everybody should be doing this after college. You go to school as a child, and then you go to college. After graduation, you get a job and start building your business at night. Within a couple years, you do quit your job and work on your business full time. In a few more years, you retire; you are free. Retirement is not where you sit and do nothing. Retirement is where you are free to do the things you love.

People, when given the opportunity, will be productive. It is natural. Can you imagine how wonderful the world would be if everybody was free to work the jobs that they loved? Oh, the productivity that there would be!
