We could start a co op for extremely extreme early retirement. I hear Florida swampland and Nevada desert is still really cheap.

I want an exclusive franchise to deliver bug repellant/bottled water.

it is possible to get 10% return, however, it is not possible to live on 12k for the rest of your life. you need to buy a house, car, life insurrance, child's education.
to me, i need 30k pretax to live if i retire.
-Child's education? --- The Dollar Store sells birth control, don't you know?

MattyMcmatt what are your plans regarding health care? You may be young and healthy now but so were all of us at one time. Now not all of us are.
If he tells them he is living on $700/month, he will probably get treated for free...If not he can claim to be an illegal alien, in which case they will definitely treat him for free.

No, that is not true. They will try to collect the money from him. They don't just look at a person's income, they look at assets, when the attorneys for the hospital work on collecting unpaid bills.
There's always Possum Living, don't forget! Where's that possum picture when I need it? Dolly Freed lived on what, $300 a year, wasn't it? And they had their own still!
I went down to put my garbage in the dumpster and there was a dead possum. No idea what happened to the poor little guy.

Most people don't know you actually need three people to cook opossum, one to cook and two to play dueling banjos.
I am serious about this although your situation sounds like a story I read a few months ago about couples in Silicon Valley who had net worths of over $10 million but also felt they still needed to work 5-10 more years before they could "afford" to retire. Man, your situation and mine are just at opposite ends of the spectrum. It is true that as people get older their "needs" expand dramatically.I can't figure out if this is serious, or if Matty is just having a laugh at everyone.
There is enough serious answers in here to make me question my most basic math skills though
As a comparison to Matty, I am 40 years old, have around $1.9M in assets ($1.4M in investments and $500k in fully paid for home), $0 in debt and I am looking at at least 8-10 more years of working before I can support a modest lifestyle with some travel and health care.
