I ran into an article on CNN Money. The article is about a couple that are both 27 years old, on their way to retiring at the age of 40. Yikes! I’m just over 40 years old and I’m just barely holding my head up above water. How do they expect to do it? Read their story. It’s pretty amazing and puts my spending in perspective. Again, why do I need a new pair of jeans when I have lots hanging in my closet? They spend $300 a year on clothes. That puts me to shame! They have a couple of rental properties and are paying rent to their parents for a minimal amount, until they find a home that’s suitable for them. They don’t feel the need to keep up with the Joneses, they don’t care what people think about them. They are happy with their life and have set their goals. They’re hoping to see their prize in 13 years. Only 13 years to sacrifice…13 years to financial freedom of not having to take on a job for money.
CNN Money also gives the couple suggestions on how they can better attain their goals. There are also other couples & families who share their stories of what they’re doing to become millionaires.
When will we start our stories to become millionaires? And what are we doing about it? Nothing’s going to happen if we just think about it, we have to do something. What will be your first step?
