Working to Build Businesses
Retirement at thirty really is not such a difficult concept. People think it is, because they are used to the concept that you must be old in retirement. Also, they think about retirement in the wrong way. They figure that they must save up a bunch of money which they will live off of until they die.
This is probably the worst way to go about it. It will take you forty years to save up this kind of money, but it could take you less if you make a high salary and you lower your standard of living during retirement.
There is a better way. First, look at how you are working. Are you getting anything from it? Sure, you are getting paychecks. But, that is it. Paychecks. You are not building anything! Your strategy is to cut little pieces of these paychecks off every year and put them into an account which someday will have enough money in it so that it will cover the living expenses for the rest of your life.
Instead, you could have been building something, like your own business, and you could retire within a few years. This does not mean that you will be rich; it means that you are free. Retirement is not living off a chunk of money, hoping that it outlives you; retirement is having an income that comes to you whether or not you are working.
So, what determines how rich you are? It is how long you do this process of building something that determines how rich you are. You can make enough to retire and have a decent life within five years, or you can work more and make enough to retire at a higher standard of living.
Everybody should be doing this after college. You go to school as a child, and then you go to college. After graduation, you get a job and start building your business at night. Within a couple years, you do quit your job and work on your business full time. In a few more years, you retire; you are free. Retirement is not where you sit and do nothing. Retirement is where you are free to do the things you love.
Humans naturally want to be productive, so we will not have a bunch of people doing nothing. Imagine a world where everybody is financially free to engage in work that they love, where nobody is trapped in a job they hate. Just imagine the productivity that will be when everybody works a job they love!
