Transcript

I'm 21 with over $150,000 invested and my goal is to retire by the time I'm 40. Most people think you need millions of dollars to do that, but that's not how investing works... Instead, I'm using something called COAST FIRE. Which is if you invest enough early, compounding takes over. If I never contributed another dollar to my investments, I'd still have over $6.18 million by the time I'm 60. But that is not the goal. Instead, I'm choosing to invest aggressively while I'm still young so that I can buy my time back in the future and retire by 40. The sooner you start to invest, the better the results will be.
