You CAN retire early in just ten years IF you save and invest enough. Fortunately, your retirement expenses may be less than you think. Chris Luger, from Heavy Metal Money, didn’t think about retiring early until a divorce made him take control of his finances. He realized that the path to early retirement was only ten years away, so he started saving—a lot. Chris managed to save and invest 70% of his income for seven years, and just last year, he pulled the trigger and retired! And here’s the kicker—Chris isn’t even touching his retirement portfolio. Thanks to a passive income side hustle, he’s funding his lifestyle without drawing down his nest egg. Chris is proof that even after divorce, with kids and an event-packed lifestyle, you CAN afford to retire early. What’s Chris’s investment portfolio made up of? What’s his passive income-producing side hustle? And how does he deal with stock market downturns without losing his head? Chris shares the raw realities of early retirement, the biggest struggles to prepare for, and the one thing that makes FIRE truly amazing once you achieve it. 00:00 Intro 00:52 I Can Retire in 10 Years!? 05:43 Selling Rentals for a BIG Project 08:40 FI with $6,000/Month! 11:42 Net Worth and FIRE Expenses 16:35 Chris’s FIRE Portfolio 18:46 The Realities of Retirement 23:25 Is a Financial Advisor Worth It? 25:34 Money is for LIVING Life! 28:26 Advice for (Early) Retirees 29:50 Connect with Chris!
