5 Ways to Afford Early Retirement
1.Work a Second Job
Sounds crazy but it might just work.
2. Work a Part-Time Job
Is this compatible with #1? What if someone works a second part-time job? Show the math! I need proof!
3. Early Retirement Distributions
Whew! I was starting to think I was wasting my time by reading this article.
If you have the money to afford early retirement then you can afford early retirement? Genius!
4. Living Low
If less money is spent in retirement then less retirement money is needed? Who would have guessed?
5. Increase Your Retirement Contributions
If more money is saved then the sooner one can retire? Is this compatible with #4? What if one saves more *and* spends less? Sounds confusing.
Is there some place I can turn for even more details?

3. Other than paying a modest fee each time I ask a question and/or offering him/her a small percentage of my nest egg, what else can I personally do to help the financial advisor retire early?

Mr Slippery,
You were right. The clown horn never gets old for me either.
Hahaha! :)
I would like to retire early. I do not wish to have a second job, so I will become a financial advisor.
Here are my thoughts: spend less than you earn, don't buy what you can't afford. And, for the win, use your savings to buy Greek sovereign debt...the interest rate is terrific.

Thank you.
Learn to spend less before retirement, then you won't miss high-spending ways when you do retire.
That'll be five hundred guineas, if you please sir.

If you become a financial advisor, and convince two friends to become financial advisors, and they each convince two friends, and so on, and so on...
We're going to have a shortage of workers!

It's tough to become one of the most influential people in America. Your advice always has to be spot on or people won't listen.
