    About this ebook

    I finally retired from the Marine Corps after 24 years of service. Even better, I positioned myself where I didn't need to work again.

     

    So I am fully retired at age 42. However, like everyone else, I need a consistent income to live my best life.

     

    Of course, I have my military pension, but my wife and I will need more income to fully explore our retired life.

     

    That's why we have built multiple streams of passive income. Each income stream generates revenue that we can use to travel, eat, and shop to our heart's content. What a life!

      01  My First Day of Retirement

      Can life truly be this good? I finally retired from the Marine Corps after 24 years, and yesterday was my first complete day away.

      It was a fantastic day. I accomplished so many things that I’ll just list them instead of discussing them.

      1)  I got one of my cars up and running (dead battery).

      2)  We had a family dinner.

      3)  I ate lunch with a military buddy.

      4)  I published a book.

      5)  I spent time with my wife.

      I did all this at my own pace without any rushing or drama. Today, I want to reverse engineer how I got to the point where I retired at age 42.

      Dividend Investing in Your 70s

      Living below our means. The first step to retiring early is understanding how much you actually spend. You’ll be surprised how many people are clueless (or oblivious) about their own spending habits.

      If you can’t live below your means, don’t expect to retire early, or perhaps, ever. You simply need to be able to live within a fixed amount of income.

      My wife and I were in debt for over 13 years of marriage. In 2019, we decided to turn the tables and take control of our financial destiny.

      We began keeping strict budgets to control what we were buying and consuming. It’s incredible how much you improve when you document everything.

      Don’t Gamble with Retirement 8

      We got out of debt about two years later, in 2021.
