“Retire to something instead of retiring from something” Well said!

[rickybreaux]

Retired at 57 in Jan 2022. South Louisiana here. One of the things that I did that helped me retire at 57 is I maxed out my 401k at 26 for 20 years then I cut back because of divorce and child support. And last 12 years I put a good bit with lots of overtime. Loving my retirement with lots of rest and peace.

Joe, you need to do a video on examples of times your retirement group changed your mind from making a potentially dangerous mistake

As another engineer with a few spreadsheets (but probably not as detailed as yours)...we plan to retire at the end of 2028 when my gov't pension is available to kick in. I'll be 62, so not retiring with the need to bridge as many years as you, but still lots of considerations about when to take SS as opposed to living completely off our other savings. While I kept telling myself I thought we were in good shape to meet our timing/life style goals, our annual free visits with a CFP made available through my wife's employer has given me the confidence that we' will indeed be ok. Good to have some professional, 3rd party input to at least give you that extra validation. Good morning from Dayton, OH!

Hi, I’m new here! I’m 51, my husband is 53…we are working to retire in about 6-7 years. Thank you for sharing your info.

Hi Joe. You sparked a car memory for me. My wife and I first car was a used Nissan Sentra. No air condition, stick shift, manual windows, . We drove it from Cincinnati to Amelia Island, Florida for our Honey Moon. We had a great time - did not know any better.

Retired at 52, thanks Joe. Tarpon springs Florida here.

The real important thing to remember is that if you want to retire early, it’s a lifelong process, not just something you can do for a couple of years.

Success is not built on success. It's built on failure, It's built on frustration. it's built on fear that you have to overcome. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in Life

Currently living in Bonaire for the next 2 months. I retired 16 months ago at age 51. We started our fire plan 8 years ago. We didn't focus on new cars and shiny things. We sold our house (duplex), cars, everything and slow traveling now for 14 months. military pension. Proceeds are getting average 4.1-4.4% placed in 2-7 years
CD, treasuries.... Not chasing a "nickel". Our IRAs/Roth's are 70/30 ish sit as bucket 3. (Using less than 4%... Around 2%)

We retired to slow travel, diving the world, taste everything (🦂🦂🦂) in Thailand 😮. Iguana in

Your last two videos are spot on....

Hi Joe, stationed in Korea about to retire from the Army, 4 months from now. Keep up with the great videos. Thank you

[stevengoedecke]

Retired at 64. Still feeling the pull to go back to work. Listening to you helps me pull back.

[paulweyandt]

Great to hear from someone who really did it. Keep up the good work.

Joe - Another great video. My wife and I are hitting our saving and investing stride at 47 years old and this is very intuitive. I would love to see a video with a whiteboard showing Joe at 22 right out of college and going through the first 10 years or so of your career with advice for the kids of the majority of your listeners (AKA my 18 yo daughter) on key steps to take after college at your first career and the impact it has 20+ years later. Cheers from Richmond VA!

Hey Joe, I'm a big fan of your channel. Thanks for the information and analysis that you provide - I'm in the Granite Belt in Queensland, Australia, so our financial/retirement system is very different here in terms of the detail. But, the basic principles you espouse are practical and make sense. I first found your channel about four months ago, when I finally decided that at 52 I really should start looking into my retirement finances. You have encouraged me to arm myself with information, to understand where I'm at and where I want to be, and I've just started talking to not only my wife, but also our adult daughter about retirement. My hope is that my wife and I can work things as well as we possibly can in the last ten to fifteen years of my career, and also that our daughter can learn some healthy habits right at the start of her working life. All the best to you and your family!

[richardbuki]

Following your channel for years. You are a true inspiration. Cheers from Hungary.😊

Thanks Joe, appreciate your videos, I'm 54 and doing my best to hit retirement by 60, I'm in Utah

Good morning Joe from Kfar Yona, Israel. As always good content. You helped me to retired earlier than planned as well as give me peace of mind while in it.

I’ve got an amazing spreadsheet that I’ve used for years but Boldin is a total game changer at looking at the bigger picture for planning.
