You can't, really. Not in the US. There's no way you can budget health care for that many years.

- the_gastropod 9y agoYes you can. 1. mrmoneymustache.com 2. earlyretirementextreme.com 3. gocurrycracker.com 4. madfientist.com 5. thepowerofthrift.com (I could go on for a while here) It's not only perfectly possible, it's not particularly difficult.
- gozur88 9y agoNo, that doesn't address the problem at all. If you retire thirty years before you qualify for medicare, you have no idea what your medical expenses will be. None. They could amount to millions of dollars over those three decades, depending on your particular issues, and you're never going to close that gap by minimizing expenses.
- the_gastropod 9y agoIt does. Just because you aren't comfortable with that risk doesn't mean it's impossible. It just means your risk tolerance is lower than the aforementioned people who did retire 30 years early.
- gozur88 9y agoWell, if you're willing to be homeless you can retire any time you'd like.
