Original caption

Most people think retiring early means making millions every year. It doesn’t. It means building enough invested assets that your portfolio can pay your bills. Using the 4% rule: $750K invested = about $2,500/month $1.5M invested = about $5,000/month $3M invested = about $10,000/month That’s the whole game. Spend less than you make. Invest the difference. Let boring index funds do the heavy lifting. Follow for more.
