What It Takes to Retire Early

Dec 22, 2024

Hello Stoic Investors,

Today, let’s talk about something exciting—building your own passive income stream.

 

We all know earning money is hard.

Earning money passively? Even harder.

Unless you have the right strategy.

 

 

Here’s the truth: no one is going to pay your bills for you.

The sooner you accept that, the sooner you can start building your future.

This isn’t a “get rich quick” scheme—it’s about consistency, patience, and results!

 

 

Step-by-Step to Passive Income

Step 1: Define your goal

Ask yourself: What does financial freedom mean for me?

Consider your ideal lifestyle, monthly expenses, and future plans.

Translate that vision into clear numbers—this will be the foundation of your strategy.

The clearer your goal, the easier it is to work toward it.

 

 

Step 2: Find some extra money

Lowering your expenses is good. Earning extra money is great.

Doing both is absolutely amazing.

If you want to increase your income, consider picking up a side hustle—AI-powered freelancing, tutoring, or consulting are great options to explore.

 

 

Step 3: Open a brokerage account

This is basically an account where you can buy and sell investments.

Step 4: Pick the right investment

This will depend on your risk tolerance and time horizon.

If you’re in it for the long haul, ETFs are an excellent option for building long-term wealth.

They provide broad market exposure, diversification, and cost efficiency.

 

Low-cost ETFs, like $VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF), allow you to invest in a wide range of companies with minimal fees, making them a simple and effective strategy for achieving your financial goals over time.

 

 

Step 5: Automate & upgrade

Firstly, automate monthly deposits from your bank account to your brokerage account.

Secondly, automate monthly purchases of your chosen investment inside your brokerage account.

 

 

Step 6: Go hard

Find every possible way to stack your investments. You’ll thank yourself later.

 

 

Step 7: Be very patient

Financial markets can feel like a roller coaster.

That’s normal.

However, in order to enjoy the long-term benefits of that, you need to stay invested.

 

 

Step 8: Retire early

Yes, it’s possible.

Once you investments grow, they’ll be able to sustain your lifestyle.

 

  

This is just a general strategy—of course, every situation has its own nuances and needs that should be considered. But simply starting to think about how to achieve financial freedom is already a significant step.
