Retiring in your 40’s

There is an interesting discussion thread at the Diehards.org/forum asking the question, ‘Has anyone retired in their 40’s or aspires to?’ Lots of folks answered in the affirmative and have some great tips on making it work, both financially and psychologically. Some recurring themes: live below your means, use a 3% or 4% safe withdrawal rate (SWR), and find something interesting to do.

    Sorry to post this here, but how did Hebner’s book rocket to $88.01 a copy on Amazon today!

    Index Funds: The 12-Step Program for Active Investors

    That is a truly great return!

    I allude to this on show 66. Look for restocking in early July.

    Paul – on the whole subject of early retirement and SWR, do you know anything about using financialengines.com?

    I tried financialengines.com once (free thru Vanguard). I don’t really remember much about it, unfortunately.
