Sock away evrey penny you can into your Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) for US government and military or your 401k or any other defined benefits plan. Don’t touch. Just keep putting in, get the company match, and watch it grow.

Then – do like I did. Pack up all your stuff and move to Thailand to live happily ever after.

Interesting post. You identified the key issues and gave a good sample. I’m gonna give that calculator a visit. “thinking outside the box” is a good suggestion.

Retiring early is a wish of many people.
If you don’t plan your career and financial issues, you can’t make it.

Thanks Ken.

The hardest part sometimes is starting.

This is something I’m struggling with right now in terms of giving. Eventually, I want to give up to 10% of my income. However, since I didn’t start the habit when I first earned money, it’s difficult. I will eventually get there, but I’m going so at the pace of 1% each year.

Some very good advice RJ. I like Step # 3 – Saving For Early Retirement. Some wise investor once said; “the best investment you can make is to save the money in the first place.” Having a good saving regimen is very satisfying along the way too, versus going into unnecessary debt.
