PSA (Public Service Announcement):
You don't have to be a certain age to retire.
You can retire as soon as you earn enough income to live the rest of your life without working.
- I've been involved with a few Network Marketing companies.
- When I asked, when do you plan on retiring?
- The typical answer was "at age suchandsuch."
Some people could retire at 65, when social security kicked in for them.
Some people could retire at 55, when they could 80 and out through their company.
Sadly, perhaps one of the most common answers was,
🙄 "I'll have to work until I die." 🙄
- The typical answer was "at age suchandsuch."
- When I asked, when do you plan on retiring?
Never Forget
You don't have to be a certain age to retire.
You can retire as soon as you earn enough income to live the rest of your life without working.
