Early retirement is easier than you think.

The essential principles for how to retire at 50 are remarkably simple. Spend less than you earn and invest the difference wisely.

Rinse and repeat these actions with persistence for a few decades and it’s possible for you to achieve early retirement as well.

In this second session of the Financial Mentor podcast Darrow Kirkpatrick, from CanIRetireYet.com, reveals how he retired at age 50. It is the “Everyman's” strategy for early retirement because anyone can do it, but surprisingly few people will.

Darrow didn't become a dot-com millionaire, launch a bestselling book, or achieve super-stardom to build his wealth. He did it the boring and reliable way – by working a regular job, controlling spending, and prudent investing.

He did what so few will do even though it really isn't all that hard. In fact, financial freedom is right within your reach if you put into practice the principles shared right here in this podcast.
