If you want to retire early, I'm pretty sure working two jobs wouldn't do the trick, even if you managed to sustain such an ordeal for years.
The best way to break out of the 9 to 5 clockwork or the rat race, is to provide value far greater than one can provide in 1 or 2 jobs. That is, starting a company, providing service(s) that return greater value. Whether you end up selling of old age (e.g. 45 if you've had enough) to a broker service, or whether you end up selling out early due to an opportunity, that will most likely give you an earlier retirement than working 2 jobs staggered.
And by the way, watch most people who have sold their company and made a ton of money... Most of them still work [citation needed, I don't know any personally].
Point is, love what you do and you won't work a day in your life. Or strap up and do the work.
- spyckie2 4y agoThis is... not quite true. Most people can retire off of 2 million USD in a major city. Spend the first million on your house and you live off of the 6-8% ROI for the second million. Even if your living expenses is over 100k/yr, you can comfortably retire after 4 million USD in most areas of the world (House + worst case scenario 4% ROI off of 3 million). Most people with over $4m in assets do not retire because they find value in earning money, not because they can't. If you're an L5 at Amazon making 330k/yr, saving around 100k/yr after taxes and expenses, you can retire around 15ish years assuming you don't inherit or luck into a high growth asset.
