Figure is just a number. You will know when the figure is reached. It’s just the matter of mustering the courage in tendering the resignation letter.

That’s awesome to hear! I think more and more people are starting to consider this path as well. Once you open yourself up to earning income in “retirement”, you realize that you can quit your day job so much sooner. I think the biggest hurdle is overcoming the belief that “work is evil” and that it should be avoided at all costs.

My plan is very similar to yours in that I plan to always work in some capacity, and I’m also trying to build a money machine. Like your plan, I’m not planning to save a 1 million to retire and do nothing. I plan to escape the corporate world with approximately $200,000 to $250,000 down the road. Thanks for laying out your strategy. I’m looking forward to seeing your plans come to fruition.

Thanks, Church! Dividend investing is certainly part of the equation, along with general index-fund investing, a few REIT’s, and continuing to grow online income. Over time, my side hustles and dividend income should reach a point where I can cover most of my expenses without a 9-5 job.

Curious to know what the plan is for deploying the capital for growth? Dividend portfolio?

It’s important that you eventually work up the nerve to leave the “safety” of your day job eventually but it’s also important to not do it too soon either! And depending on how risk tolerant you are, what “too soon” means can vary greatly. Quitting your job is more difficult than you might think!

Very odd. I’ll look into it more. Thanks for letting me know, guys.

Hey Wayne, I just checked the link and it seems to be working fine on my end. I’m using Chrome. It could be the security settings at your work. I’d give it a try on your home network. If it still doesn’t work, let me know. Thanks!
