Where does retirement come from?

  • People have only started retiring in the last 100 years
  • Most people in history worked until they died or until they were taken care of by their children.
  • When welfare systems like Social Security we’re put into place, age 65 was arbitrarily put in place as the end of a working life.
  • Today, the Standard Path we’ve been sold is to work from 18-65 and then you can enjoy the rest of your life

What if there was another way?

What if you could retire earlier?

What would you do with your life if money wasn’t a limiting factor?

That is what Financial Independence is all about. Finding meaning in life, and getting your money to support your vision.
