This is the math nobody taught us in school. You don't need to wait until 60 to stop working. You need a number. Add up what you spend in a normal month. Multiply by 12. Multiply that by 25. That's your freedom number. Spend $5,000 a month? That's $60k a year, so $1.5M invested. Once you hit it, you withdraw about 4% a year and work becomes optional. Open the brokerage account. Invest every single month. Let time do the heavy lifting. Follow @thesavvycouple for the money moves nobody taught you 👇 #thesavvycouple #retireearly #financialfreedom #investing #moneytips
