Childfree & retiring early

Age:
Geographic Region:

 

 

I think a great thing about being at my age and not having kids is that all our friends are paying for two colleges right now, and we retired early.

 

And, when we first kind of started coming out with this plan, they’re like, you’re, you’re doing what? And, it’s like, yeah, you know, we both have 401k’s. We’ve been working 28 or 35 years at this job and we’re gonna retire. And they’re just staring at us like the words aren’t making sense. And it’s like, it’s just us. We have enough to spend down now rather than build up that income. And I think that’s something that doesn’t really occur to people.
