My Retirement Plan At 35

[wsreader]

The current mainstream thinking is to work until retirement age and then re-contract and continue to work pass retirement age. Maybe even drop dead during work. It is always refreshing to hear of people who can retire young.

A few years ago, at the end of an agm, I was eating the little food that I manage to collect after the uncles and aunties had their shares. As I looked down at the glittering waters at the mouth of singapore river from a dizzy height of 62 storeys, a young man beside me asked how I had the time to attend the agm. I told him that I had applied leave from work to attend the agm. When asked the same question, the young man revealed that he was a full time investor.

Therefore I believe there are already people who had retired young and are spending time doing whatever they truly enjoy. Whether one achieve it at age 30s or 40s is immaterial. Coming to this forum to link up with others similar minded or others in similar situation is a good start. At the very least, it provides a counter balance to the many nay sayers out there.
