E187 - How To Retire Early - Using The 4% Rule And a Simple Portfolio

Sooner or later most of us start thinking about retiring, and whether or not retiring early is even an option for us. How do you retire early? How do you know if you have enough money? And how do you make it work for you to sustain your retirement? These are all tough questions to answer. Today I want to talk to you about the 4% Rule and how you can use it to help you figure out how much you need to retire. I also want to show you exactly how it works and whether or not it would have worked out well with a simple portfolio of stocks and bonds. I'll also compare the results to those of a more aggressive investment strategy so you can see the differences. I hope you enjoy!
