Unlock Your Future
With Confidence
I was thirty-two when our last child was born. I started to wonder where my life was heading. My thoughts began to gravitate towards the future and our retirement or lack thereof. At the time I was making minimum wage, and we were a single income family with two kids. We had $25,000.00 in credit card debt and no savings.
I set out to unravel the mystery of retirement planning, approaching it as I would any other puzzle – by starting at the end and tracing my steps back to the present.
As I navigated this journey, I began to appreciate the profound impact of tiny steps. I saw how their ripple effects brought about significant transformations in my current life and laid the groundwork for my future.
Along the way, I discovered the code to my life’s motivators, I call them, “Money, Toys and Time”; it turns out that I valued autonomy more than material wealth and possessions. I came to understand that time was, indeed, my most valuable motivator and therefore my most precious asset.
This is my journey and the steps I took to retire by the time I was Fifty-Two. I hope it helps you in some small way.
