Can You Afford Early Retirement?

by Roger on December 6, 2007

I saw this article on Yahoo! today about people retiring young so I had to read it.

Most of these people really didn’t have that much money; mostly less than US$500,000 or so. So how can they retire in their 30′s or 40′s?

Easy, if you keep your spending down. Easier said than done, right?

Well some of these early retirement folks were living on the cheap here in the United States, but others chose international living because they knew the cost of living in other, sometimes more beautiful locales, was much less than here in the states.

But how do you find where these other, international living, locations are? They need to be friendly to the gringo who may not speak Spanish, Thai, or whatever.

The answer is to subscribe to Casey’s Without Borders.

This terrific newsletter describes other locations where you might want a 2nd home, or even your primary home. But more than that, you learn what you need to actually do it!

Whether it’s investing abroad or living abroad, you want the information you’ll only find in Casey’s Without Borders

Our society needs to be informed on how much investing is costing them. In the new book “The 3 Secret Pillars of Wealth” by tax attorney James Burns, he describes the fees that you pay for investing and the five destroyers of wealth accumulation, two of which are taxes and expenses. Until we learn to eliminate all five there is no way to get ahead when we will be living longer. Retirement proposistion could be 30-40 years due to our medical science in keeping folks alive.
