No Freakin' Way

When I turned 40, I had an epiphany; American society wanted me to work another 25 years before I drew retirement. Wow!
Now, every year after my birthday, I write an article in my No Freakin' Way series. Hopefully, this is my last year in the workforce.
But I didn't just stop working. I created and followed a plan to make as much passive income as possible before I stopped working.
The number one thing you can do to retire early is to live below your means, and the second is to increase your savings rate. If you can do those two things together, you'll be well on your way to playing golf on Monday morning. Good Luck!
