So I'm only 19, been here at UPS for almost two years and if everything goes as planned I could seriously retire by 40 comfortably, which I understand is risky and very earlier. But since I've graduated high school my main goal in life is to not work another day in my life A.S.A.P. Being I can't see my contributions until I'm 55 should I still contribute and stick with my current broker right now? I also already have a few grand invested in some mutual funds with him. Thank you.
Good on you! Its all about CHOICES! Start your retirement goals ASAP!
Better to have your head in the game of life than be run over by it at some point!
I retired at 49! That was almost 15 year ago! For me it was a lot of balance of life to get to where I am today! MEANING! You have to plan for your future, yet you also need to live your life! When I started out I set goals that I would review twice a year. Your going to have hiccups along the way that may distract or enhance your life, just pay attention to the details of your life!
As an Example:
I didn't buy the most expensive/newest Home, Newest Boat, Newest Motorcycle's and Car's when I was younger!
I chose the path of what I could afford that fit life style I wanted ( I was just a UPS driver ) and while at UPS I made very good monies! Plan your future and live with in your means and goals you set and someday you will be posting here passing the word to the young guns following IN your foot steps!
