This couple retired at 38 and 41. Here's how they made it happen.

Want to retire early? Tanja Hester and her husband Mark Bunge went from freewheeling spending to financial independence, and say it's simpler than you think.

She’s so soft-spoken, but thankfully the producer added Muzak to the background to drown her out. Seriously, why?

[SmithFam]

I got two more years. Walking out the door at 50. Not doing FIRE though just FI.

[bartoszdobroslaw]

I watch several YouTube videos on how to trade in the stock market but haven't made any headstart because they are either talking some gibberish or sharing their story of how they made it and I do not want to make mistakes by taking risks in my own hands

[tomstock]

Sorry, but the background music made it really hard to understand what they were talking about

[prettygirlus]

I would have liked to hear what they did for jobs and what they're doing for health insurance in early retirement.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for acknowledging that “not everyone can do this”!!! Someone who’s constantly choosing whether to pay for food or for lights can’t participate in the “FIRE” movement.

Love the FIRE movement. The one knock on all the couples who are shown have no kids. Would love to see a video with a couple who had 2 or 3 kids and achieved FIRE early. Maybe a thought for a future episode.

15 months to FI for me. Can’t f’ing wait. FI means I don’t take shit from anyone anymore. Every day becomes optional.

Last line was the best explanation for this type of lifestyle choice

[FehadBilgramiChannel]

Love the early and traditional phases of retirement

In America it is difficult to retire early because of expensive medical insurance. Without it, your savings might be wiped out if you have a serious medical emergency.:-0

I also live in a cold climate and I keep my thermostat set at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. My teacher told me she remembers, when she graduated in 1979 and the President told everyone to turn down their thermostats and wear sweaters, because of the energy shortage.

[uranus]

they are talking too much but never gave actual numbers ..

[sharonbrown]

What about investing more money going forward? How do you contribute to your retirement and regular accounts, all that money you can make so much money on going forward. Thanks for the video.

[Happiness]

So where’s the link to see how to get started to make a plan to retire early?

[ernestoybarra]

The numbers: The U.S. producer price index fell 0.5% in July, the Labor Department said Thursday. That’s down from a 1.0% jump in June and the first negative monthly print since April 2020. WoW America thanks Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin! Thank you sir

[eezyable]

I haven't watched the video. But I'm assuming they don't have kids. If they do, fair play!

[sharonbrown]

Do you have a financial investor professional?

[brandonreed]

You need enough money where you can live off of 4-5% interest of that money. Then you can live free.
