Hey guys! First time poster here, but what an absolute dream to have found a forum with like-minded people. The only person in the world I have met who is as ambitious as me and shares the same goals and values as I do is my fiance, Andrew... so at least I am lucky in that regard! But a whole community of you... it's like Christmas morning!
So a little about me: I'm 25, I'm a finance analyst (sitting at my cubicle right now, not being the best employee...), I live in Kentucky with my fiance (30 yrs old) and our dog. Andrew and I had an incredible year last year. Here are some of the things we accomplished in 2017:
We are thrilled with our momentum and can't wait to retire early. So now for our goals...
Are there any other youngins in here like Andrew and me? I would especially love to hear from those of you who ALREADY retired and that had to walk away from extremely lucrative full-time jobs. My worry is that our full-time/actively earned income is so high that we won't want to quit, even though we can!

So a little about me: I'm 25, I'm a finance analyst (sitting at my cubicle right now, not being the best employee...), I live in Kentucky with my fiance (30 yrs old) and our dog. Andrew and I had an incredible year last year. Here are some of the things we accomplished in 2017:
- We bought 2 rental properties, which bring in $3k/mo cash flow combined, 25% rate of return
- We started a POD T-Shirt business, earns about $1k/mo
- I got a promotion and a $10k raise
- I wrote and published my first ebook, Money Honey, earns about $500/mo
- I lost 20 lbs, Andrew lost 25 lbs... we are in the best shape of our lives!
- I won a $15k Sweepstakes the same weekend Andrew proposed... absolutely nuts
- We traveled to Colorado, NY, & Greece
We are thrilled with our momentum and can't wait to retire early. So now for our goals...
- Retire by May 2020 (I will be 27, Andrew will be 32) and move out West
- Grow passive income to $10k/month AT LEAST with real estate
- Hire property management company for our rentals
- what else? (would love some suggestions)
