Ideal retirement age is 25

Tate is amazing HOW TO MAKE WEALTH

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.

Super cool😎Well done Eddy.Peter from Vancouver

I really enjoyed this down to earth look at retirement. Im 62 with 40-years at the same employer. I'm finally allowing myself to go from dreaming about retirement to taking meaningful action. Wills & advanced directives done. Assessing budget done. Meeting with financial planner in-process. In my mind, this is the heavy lifting and completing each task is a step closer. Its strange, and maybe others have felt this, but its almost like I'm waiting for someone to say "hey, it's all good... you can do this now". In reality the only permission you need comes from the mirror.

I love this debate and suspect there is no right answer for everyone. I'm on the Scottish hills every weekend and run hot so Goretex wets out on me in heavy rain - usually after 2 or 3 hours of constant deluge in the lighter jackets and after 4 or 5 hours with the 'bomber' hard shells. The only two things that I have found to work is to take a second jacket (and ideally base/mid-layer) or hike fast enough to keep warm (though this means you can't stop for more than a couple of minutes at a time before you get cold). Don't think I would trust Paramo for a 10 to 14 hour day in the Cairngorms but I could be wrong! I'll keep searching for that elusive perfect jacket 🙂

ye if youve got an army pension, a company pension and have plenty in the bank already. not evryone can do that you know

Brilliant this! Doing it tomorrow. Inspired by this dude 👍

I've used gortex and the exact paramo you have both are great until 1hour of heavy rain .I found if I use a umbrella 🌂 I stay totally dry so buy one for a few quid no problems with rain.

Retire at 50? Yeah given the housing cost for young people they will almost 100% not be able to.....

If your getting wet in paramo you’re doing something wrong because its you that has to wash and proof it. Ive used it all over the world in all kinds of environments and weather for over 20 years. I also use it for work outdoors every day through every winter and never been wet. I think a better understanding of how it works is needed before dissing something that you don’t fully understand the workings of.

eddy your utube vidios have changed my life .i am 74 after watching your vidios i now understand my life thanks mate

eddy you have made me realise i have had autism .i am 74 years old and my life is understandable after seeing your vlogs why retire early .thanks mate

👍 I "retired" at 53. 77 now and very financially comfortable. How? I moved to Europe... Get away from high-cost places like USA and Canada. Those places create "wage slaves" perpetual poverty traps.

I retired at 50 as well, I'm 62 now. I took an early retirement from the Canadian government. Like you, I left a lot of money on the table by leaving early. However i firmly believe it was one of the best decisions i ever made.

Video really resonated with my own situation......thanks for creating and posting, useful resource for me to refer to when needed.

Way back in the 70's a rich old Scots fella who owned a road marking company gave me several bits of advice when I was wiring his house as an apprentice electrician. He said if you haven't started to think about your future when your 20, started to put the plan in place by 30 and achieved your goal by 40 then you will never be able to retire selling your life for bits of paper (now plastic notes). Also said don't get caught up in the silly game of buying stuff you don't need with money you don't have to try and impress people you don't know. If hard work was that good for you the rich would do it all and the poor would not get a look in. Lastly you will have a little money working for someone else, a bit more self employed and the skys the limit if you employ others. PS I had my mortgage paid off by 43 and retired at 45 now almost 70 and happy with my life, bicycle, allotment & home brew beer & wine...

The idea of early retirement varies from country to country. In countries with high inflation, no/less government charity to people with no work, early retirement could be a bad idea. Plus, the salary one earns during 45+ age is generally way way more than what one earns during 25-40 age

you're 50!!! wow you look awful fo ryour age

I retired at 45 from Brooklyn New York city with a 4k a month passive income to Colombia. For the first time in my life I feel rich. In New York City I felt poor with 4k a month that was two year again. I don't regret it one bit life in general feels normal again dating absolutely feels normal again. I'm not sure what has happened in the USA but life is not fun anymore and dating became impossible.

Thanks for sharing mate. Greetings from the U.A.E.

wow you are my hero :)

Very very pretty video Thank you ... Amazing

It doesn't fail, it's designed to get wet so the inner liner starts to wick moisture away if you keep moving. Yes, you will get moist, but you will stay warm and the jacket will eventually dry. I've worn Paramo doing the Cullin ridge traverse, A' Mhaighdean, Aonach Eagach and Mt St. Elias in America, and it's worked as intended during gale-force winds, tropical torrential downpours, blizzards etc. and never failed. The one thing that's an absolute must with Paramo though is the correct sizing, too tight, or if you're wearing with a pack, and it''ll impact the breath-ability around the back/shoulder area, and that means the liner won't wick effectively. That could be happening here.

Thank you for this inspirational video.. I do it a bit differently.. Im 54 yrs old and I dont want to work my life away.. I work 1-2 days a week on a special agreement with a company which is enough for me financially.. I chose not to have a home adress but I live in my car.. In order to keep the plates on my car I’ve established a contact adress.. The System demands that in 🇩🇰 and I obviously have to pay all my bills regarding that car.. I enjoy working which is Why I chose this way.. Luxery are many things.. My Health for one.. Being Ok financially.. Planning my everyday quickly turns into a habit.. Keeping clean.. Eating well.. Coffee and a smoke.. Waking up by the beach in summer.. Staying dry and warm in winther.. Knowing people helps.. Im a good guy and people like me.. I have a broad knowledge in many ways and areas and I carry a big heart.. 12 yrs ago i suffered a brain stroke.. It took me four yrs to recover and today Im fine.. Not fully but almost.. I love my life..❤️🇩🇰

I believe that I am autistic and a number of people have said they believe this to be the case. However, my GP nonsensed this, without carrying out and tests or even asking me any questions

That covid vax mandate brought me to retire at 45 years old and I started my business in arts as side hustle that brings a bit of money … it’s been 3 years now and it has been the best thing in my life! i quit the rat race, the full time job in IT, the big salary … bought a farm to start a homestead (lots of potential!) and I would never go back to work full time in IT, I enjoy my life so much now!

Retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My parents both spent same number of years in the civil service, but my mom was investing through a wealth manager, and my dad through the 401k.

Thank you for this fresh 'early retirement' video. I basically retired at age 47 and moved to a beautiful and affordable Central American country. Best 'mistake' I ever made... hahahaha... I have my little projects and a new love - my partner now for 14 years. I left the USA 17 years ago. I live in a 'walkable' UNESCO world heritage city of 50,000 people. It takes some faith to take the leap, but the pay off is great. Luckily for me I had some very 'high income' years in my career in advertising in NYC. I am 63 years old now and am thinking I may start collecting my Social Security early... the monthly on that pretty much covers my expenses here (probably not in the US though)... in 2 more years I have an annuity that 'pops' open and will have an additional $1,000 a month. Had cancer last year... difficult for sure but 100% cancer free now!!! Sure did, however, change my thoughts on the uncertainty of the future. Changed my perspective. TIME - NO one knows how many years we have - probably the best point made in your video. Thank you again for sharing.

I think the retirement crisis will get even worse. A lot of people can’t save because of low paying jobs, inflation, and insane rental rates. And now that home ownership is out of reach for middle class Americans, they won’t have a house to retire with either.

You do not appear to be autistic at all and seem incredibly sharp minded . Curious how a learning disability affected you.

Great HIke, more of these contents would be nice. Cheers!

1. Wait for a sunny day. Climb Pen Y Gent, take your time, enjoy the views, spend some time at the top, have a steady ramble back down and maybe go for a nice dinner and a pint before going home 2. Repeat with Ingleborough and ( if you must, it’s really boring) Whernside.

About to retire and unsure if my 401(k) and IRA will provide a stable future. i need an approach that will align with my risk tolerance and financial goals, i set aside $1m to achieve this. Do you suggest i get into stocks or buy a rental property?

Great talk. Even for the people that love their jobs, at some point you value time more than money, especially in most Western countries (i.e. Canada, USA, UK, Germany etc.) where you can lose up to 70% of your income to taxes and fees. Its hard to put in a 50 hour work week, only to be left with 30% in spending power, which consistently gets eroded through inflation due to money printing and the impact of more debt being created under fractional reserve banking. I'm mid-50s and have my own consulting company. I have gone almost completely digital, built my team offshore and pull out enough money to live within my means. I spend less and have adjusted my lifestyle. I no longer need a Mercedes, a big house, expensive vacations and a Rolex, etc. I'm happy with my Mazda, Casio, driving to my vacation spot and a smaller home. It no longer pays to work hard, so why give up my sanity and mental health to support a bankrupt and corrupt system.

I retired at age 54. 21 years in law enforcement paid off!

Great story

ASD person here with longtime depression/anxiety. one article i read once stated 'Population-wide studies in the US, Sweden and Taiwan show that autistic people are up to seven times more likely to die by su*icide and six times more likely to attempt s*icide than the general population. 3 The risk of death by s*icide is even greater for autistic people without intellectual disability.'

*I was homeless, got into drug's went to prison and then I got to know Jesus and he changed my life...Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $50,000 in 2months . I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough! Now I have a new identity and a child of God*

It's good to have a pension.

Retire also at 50 and not knowing what to do yet. Thanks for your experience. (Lima, Peru)

The point here is did you feel wet before you took it off... If a goretex leaks you know straight away .

Thanks for sharing your life story, it was inspiring 😊

Any news about the next video where you'll explain how you actually did it? :)

I retire at 26 when I got myself av job in the government with an union. Now they took away all our retirement benefits, so I may have to start working more until I die

The worst is working your whole life so another person can retire off your labor, my story. I worked nearly twenty years for a company, owners made millions a year, they retire sell company for millions, all I got was my 401k. I should've followed in my dad's footsteps, he became a cop in his early twenties, by the time he was in his early 50s, he retired with a lot of money and a pension.

Way ahead of you im only 38😊

It is a shame that it took so long to be diagnosed but great that you've taken control of your life again. Being outdoors is really liberating for so many - on the one hand,an incredible challenge which teaches you a lot about yourself and others,but also immensely satisfying

I was in Nainital just a couple of weeks ago, on the edge of the Himalayas, and this has to be the best area to go walking on the continent. I plan to go back to explore some of the peaks such as Nanda Devi. One thing that did surprise me was that you weren't allowed in the Hindu temple - I have visited many temples in India and I have never had a problem either in entering or taking part in any rituals.

I lived in Gateshead for 5 years and found the Metro system to be a fantastic way to get around but also spent a lot of time cycling around the wonderful countryside of the area. I am still making plans but I agree totally that time is our most finite resource. I appreciate very much your insights and understand the need for purpose - that is one of the parts that I am still struggling with but I do have lots of ideas. When I started on my plan it was all "when will I have enough money to do this" but actually that is only a small part of the problem.
