How I plan to retire at 35 (and weird reasons WHY)

Here's how and why I plan to retire by 35 years old.

I think early retirement is something we may all dream of, but for me, it's quite close to reality. As far as my goals are concerned, only 2.5 years away.

So I think it's important now that I'm running a financial channel, I should explain. Unfortunately, society isn't really set up for most of us to retire early, or offer us a ton of comfort even if we are able to retire at a "normal" age like 65, or 70.

And that's even if you believe many retirement funds will still exist by the time you're that old. And that's why I'm choosing to take my retirement into my own hands, and decide to do it on my own terms.

But not just so I can sit around doing nothing. There are a LOT of financial movements (like the FIRE movement) that are aiming to help people retire early, but what a lot of these don't stress is how important it is to have a clear "why" as to why you want to do this.
