About this ebook
We should all strive to leave the workforce while we are still healthy; however, some will leave sooner than others.
You can determine how fast you can leave the workforce by lowering your standard of living, even for a short period.
Retirement is the act of stopping to go to work. Financial freedom affords you the freedom of time, movement, and money.
Those who aim for financial freedom understand they can leave the workforce as soon as their passive income exceeds their expenses.
Therefore, if they increase their income and reduce expenses, they can enjoy the luxury of early retirement. How soon do you want to leave the workforce? Good Luck!

The idea of having multiple years in retirement is a relatively new concept. Before, people would work until they died. Once we moved into the city and began having 40-year work weeks, it became more acceptable to work toward your retirement.
Pulling the rug from under us. The early years of the retirement system were golden because of government and corporate-sponsored pension plans (defined benefit).
J.O.M.O.: The Joy of Missing Out
The employee would simply work for 30 years, and the government or corporation would ensure they lived the rest of their lives with the same quality of life.

Under the 401K plan, the employee is responsible for funding their own retirement. The system expects the employee to adjust their lifestyle in order to save enough for their future. Sounds difficult, yes?
Are you preparing for retirement? Our parents and the education system trained us to be great employees. In fact, we even convince ourselves that we WANT to work until we are 65 or 70 years old.

However, deep down, we know the truth. We want to free ourselves from the bondage of work and enjoy our lives. But we also understand we have to pay bills until the day we die.
