    This is me at 18 with my first full time job, devise a cunning plan to retire at age 30, some deliberate choices and lots of luck and managed to retire at 35. Am now 59.

    My only real regret in life is not retiring earlier, the slave indoctrination is hard to walk away from initially.

    Now, having been outside the rat race for so long, if i had to go back to work id kill myself, i realize how toxic it all is.

      How the fuck did you retire at 35

      I have been working for 15 years and never managed to save more than a few thousand dollars

      The only ways I can imagine retiring at age 35 after starting work at age 18, Were you in the army? Air Force? Marine corps? Coast guard? Drug dealer?
