Hey All, I'm trying to find the youngest self-made early retiree. I want to find someone my age who has done what I've done. Someone who meets the definition of having a minimum of 25x their annual expenses for their desired lifestyle, and they did this entirely self-made (through saving and investing).
ABOUT ME:
I retired early, FI 2% SWR at the age of 24 with 1,200,000 in net worth. The majority of my net worth came from saving. We lived frugally (my wife, daugther & I) on less than $1500/month. We saved almost all of our salaries and invested that in real-estate, and I renovated the properties (buying them well below market value because they needed work). Anyway, majority of my wealth - say $1,000,000 of it was saved over the last 7 years of hard work. I graduated school debt free etc., and didn't really have a lot of help - I left home at 17. Am I the only one who found guys like early retirement extreme at age 17 and went dead set on retiring early?
I blogged about it, and I've used that medium where I was trying to find others like me (a cult of sorts) and to help others...anyone know anyone? Am I the only one my age? There must be a fellow mustachian in here who is doing it at age 24/25? I am who I am because of articles like MMM's I followed religiously in 2012/2013.
Message me if you do and if you don't message me anyway! I want to build a community now that I am financially independent of others that support the lifestyle decision to stop consuming for consumption sake.
