In the past most people never retired. They died. The prevalent life expectancy was much less than it is these days, and there were no financial planners passing by to help people save up enough to quit work. As recently as the 1960’s, if you did manage to save up enough money to retire, you’d be lucky to live different story 5 or 6 years rather than you kicked the bucket.

It is a daunting task, attempting to set all enough money to supply an income for 25 or 30 years, in the 15, 10 or 5 years you have erst you retire. We say this insofar as most people don’t get really serious backward their retirement planning until they hit 50…and realize they had wanted to quit work at 55!

This is the standard model that has been followed since we began living long enough to tasking with retirement savings. You set enough cash to cover things off at some future distant time.

Since reading his passbook we have begun to variety our financial plan. Instead of continuing to organize our finances hereabouts future income for a distant ‘retirement’, we are re-orienting things toward near-future passive income and ‘financial freedom’. We have been doing this by purchasing income-producing real estate and by looking to start internet businesses.

The success of our new ‘passive income’ plan remains to be seen, but it is interesting to note how unsettled our end result from retirement to financial freedom has completely unmitigated the path we’re taking.
