Some questions for the already financial independent
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2017 12:04 pm
Hello all. My name is Marc and I’m from Spain. First of all forgive my English, since it’s not my first language and I’ll possibly write a bit weird
I write in a blog about money (mostly how to save it and how to invest it long term) called Opinatron (in Spanish) and I firmly believe in reaching early retirement. To encourage my readers to believe in the possibility of retiring early I’m doing a series of articles about people that already reached it, interviewing them. With 8 quick questions, people can really learn a lot about the experience of others and the interviews I got until now are really interesting and people loves it. I know it is a lot to ask, but I think if there was people here willing to answer the interview me and my readers could learn a lot and get new points of view, being this a great forum and one that has a completely different style from the ones in Spain.
If someone that has already reached financial independence was so kind as to answer the interview I’d be honored and really happy, I would then translate it to Spanish for my blog. I’m sure this forum’s visitors could also learn from your very interesting and experienced point of view.
Here are the questions:
• What motivated you to want to retire early?
• How old were you when you early retired and how many years did you have to work for it?
• How did you do it?
• Is it necessary to earn a lot of money to retire early? What’s the key factor?
• How would you define your investment strategy? What do you live from now?
• Which were your biggest hits and your biggest mistakes?
• If you had to give some advice to people that’s starting, what would it be? Whats your recipe to reach early retirement?
• What do you do now with your time? Was it worth it?
Thank you very much for your precious time
