Despite the fact that I have an awesome job, retirement is already on my mind. And with only 3 months of a "real job" under my belt, I can help but dream about a day when I don't have to go into work unless I want to.
Yahoo posted this story today and it intrigued me. They called it "Extreme Early" Retirement and it made it sound exciting and edgey. Its something I could see myself doing with the right preperation. Yahoo finance suggests that you :
Set spending and investment priorities now for the future
Stay 100 percent out of debt, except for a mortgage
Invest in stocks through index and mutual funds
Use the compounding effect of time by investing early
Seek a partner with the same financial values
I think most of those are very do-able. Grown up in the home of an accountant has made me extremely money conscience.
I WANT TO TRAVEL

The first item is the most important. In order to retire early, there's a lot of future years that needs to saved for.
