Jeremy Schneider, 41, lives in San Diego and achieved FIRE - financial independence, retire early - at 36. In 2015, he sold his Internet company RentLinx for just over $5 million. In 2017, he retired from corporate work with about $3 million. Schneider traveled and played video games in that first year of early retirement. Then in 2019, he started Personal Finance Club, which teaches people learn to save and invest money. Since launching, the company has made nearly $1 million in sales.

How I Retired Early With $3 Million At 36 In San Diego | Fired Up

[@LiamOlivia-4]

I believe the retirement crisis will get even worse. Many struggle to save due to low wages, rising prices, and exorbitant rents. With homeownership becoming unattainable for middle-class Americans, they may not have a home to rely on for retirement either.

[@EleanorMabel]

Got it! Buying stocks during a recession when prices are down could be a good move. You might get them at a lower price and sell later when they go up. Just do your homework and be aware of the risks before diving in!

[@YinusaSaheed]

@@EleanorMabel That's awesome! Investing in stocks with a reliable trading system can lead to great outcomes. It's fantastic that you've been working with a financial advisor for a year now. Starting with less than $200K and being just $19,000 away from making half a million in profit is impressive! Keep up the good work!

The concept of mini-retirement changed my life. I'm no longer waiting for some retirement paradise when I'm 65. It helps to know how to fund the lifestyle. You know, making money while you sip that piña colada by the beach does help. I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise.

Yes, it is no easy feat to retire at 2M and not everyone will have capacity to make 2M profitable business. But having the mindset is important and that's what 9/10 people lacks. For example, take one of the highly paid profession like doctors. Any doctors (even the lowest paid ones) can save 2M in 15 years (by their early 40s) and can semi retire. but 9/10 don't have savings close to that. The reason being, lifestyle creep, million dollar condo when you have hundreds of thousand dollar student load etc.

As most investing-related questions, the answer is, it depends.. my best suggestion is to consider advisory management

[@HaKun-hf8yd]

Agreed, the role of advisors can only be overlooked, but not denied. I remember in early 2020, during covid-outbreak, my portfolio worth around 300k took a slight fall, apparently due to the pandemic crash, at once I consulted an advisor in order to avoid panic-selling. As of today, my account has yielded big fat yields, and leverages on 7-figure, only cos I delegate my excesses right.

There are several independent advisors you could research. However, I have been working with ,Lisa Ann Moberly for almost four years, and we get along great. If she appeals to your judgement, you could continue with her. I support her.

People don't realize the difference between the rich and poor is Poor people spend then save. Rich people save then spend. If you cut out just 10% of your income before it comes to expenses you will adapt to live off the remaining 90%. Hypothetically, making $10/h you could save $2k a year. Throw it in an s&p 500 for 40 years you'd have $500k - just from setting aside 10% of your income BEFORE you started spending.

Becoming a millionaire through a Roth IRA or a 401(k) involves different strategies for maximizing profits. A Roth IRA offers tax-free withdrawals in retirement, which can be advantageous if you expect to be in a higher tax bracket later in life. On the other hand, a 401(k) provides tax-deferred growth and potential employer contributions, boosting your savings. The optimal choice depends on factors like your current and future tax situation, employer match, and investment options. Consulting a financial advisor can help tailor a strategy that aligns with your financial goals and circumstances.

[@hankmarks69]

Prioritizing effective personal finance management holds greater significance than the sheer amount saved, irrespective of income source.

One crucial point about his early retirement is that he was able to get a lump sum by selling his internet company. All the big investment returns and living off it starts with a big investment. So either you keep investing early and for a long time or you win the lottery or start a successful business.

[@morriselee]

It is not about the $ 3 million. It is about the multiple streams of passive income he made. Those are recurring income that he can spend without touching his $3 M. Now with this short video, he might get another hundreds of viewers buy his online course and further increase his course-selling passive income. Pretty neat!

[@Vim_Tim]

It’s absolutely about the $3 million; buying a $700k house in cash probably saved $400k+ in interest vs. a 30-year mortgage. Plus, he has no dependents to support.

Jeremy is an inspiration. Financially, my wife and I are doing well. Not as well as Jeremy, but we're doing well. I'd tell ANYBODY that you can retire early as well. The keys: 1. start investing IMMEDIATELY. From the first paycheck you get babysitting to your high school McDonald's job, put some of that money in a retirement account, matching the S&P 500 Index 2. never buy a new car. It's probably the best way to stay poor. Buy 3 year old cars and only from reliable, cheap to maintain brands. Don't buy a used BMW or Mercedes! There's a couple I follow that retired in their late 30s. They were bringing in about $170K combined. That's it. And they have two kids! But they were still able to retire with about $2 million and moved to Portugal, where the cost of living is much less.

I’m 31 and work in tech and have a wife with no kids (don’t plan on it) and I’m well on my way to be there in my 40s. I max out all retirement accounts and dollar cost average anything else I don’t spend into crypto (yes I’m still up in this market because I started in crypto in 2014/2015). I think I spend maybe $100/month of myself after bills (bills are minimal because of no debt) because I’m just a simple person as well as my wife.

[@anthonyriche552]

You're right- every case is completely different due to different scenarios and it's not like he planned it this way. Opportunities happened and he took advantage of them. Retiring early as an employee is very difficult and having a family adds a whole new set of expenses. He has neither (at the moment) and no mortgage which puts him ahead of the game. You can still retire early with a family and kids but it will take A LOT of planning, cutbacks, effort (more than likely a second job for both adults) and understanding all the nuances of the tax code. Then the question remains is "how early?" I would prefer to focus on retiring with some form of wealth in that position which is much more doable.

My net worth is 1.5 million. 1.1 in cash and my pension is equal to a 4% anual withdrawal from 1 million dollars invested into the sp 500. Retired at 50 and just enjoy my free time. My son will begin college in the summer. (Single dad)After that I will be able to travel if I wish. It’s a true blessing 🙏🏼

[@teenytinytoons]

Lifelong renter here as well. This gives me hope. I’m so embarrassed.

[@rosez4eva]

What wrong with renting? Especially in HOL areas, many people never become homeowners.

[@moua0067]

Hey don't feel embarrassed. There are many pluses to renting vs owning. Trust me. We own and manage rental properties. Its not easy and not always alot of money.

[@mylifethaidiy7045]

This guy is living my dream life! After a person cashes out their $3 million, they will be left with $1.5 million and according to the 4% rule you can gross $60,000/year for the rest of your life. That goes a long way living in a low cost of living area like Asia.

Not having kids or a wife is the difference

Money is a tool that can help you to achieve your goals. It can provide comfort and stability for your family, make it easier to plan for the future, and allow you to save towards important milestones. But to achieve these things, you need to know how to make your money work for you by investing with the right approach and strategy.

[@linsey.]

Hello, what approach or strategy do you invest with? I'm new to investing.

[@c.moeller]

My progress on Investment began when Sir started putting me through stocks & crypto trading and also guiding me through managing my investment portfolio. He enjoys teaching investment strategies.

[@realzubidoo]

He's like a dad who's permanently on vacation

[@justmeagain7]

Parents don't go on vacations, they just go to take care of their children in another place. He is not a dad, he takes care of himself only.

[@asodawg4389]

He looks old

[@scottwang6256]

Working on a self-owned company for 11 years and sold it with 2M gain after tax (~180K/year in average) seems like average income ~400K/year before tax if effective tax rate is 40%, and living cost 60K/year.

[@kcdiazWTV]

Is there a financial independence retire late club?

[@carloscallejas3161]

So he made a company and sold it for millions 🤔

[@Vim_Tim]

This feels more like therapy for bachelor Jeremy than education for the audience.

[@MrPancakez101]

[@jasonking6892]

Expat 🇺🇲 retired for 6 years at 55 .now lives in South America $1500 very very well FYI 80% of the world you can live well on less than $2000 month ..👍

[@mickylord21]

People always fail to understand that the 4% rule was established with the assumption of a 30 year retirement. This should be adjusted if you retire this young

[@FCFD2025]

4% is a reasonable estimate for ROI over a long period. It would take a protracted negative event for his portfolio to go down significantly in value.

[@Davidsworldtravels]

4% just means you can live off the growth of the portfolio without ever taking principle. So as long as he can live under those means there is no time limit.

[@jakerubin2250]

Yeah but bonds are at like 4.5% right now, he’s fine for the time being and he doesn’t spend nearly 4%

[@mickylord21]

@David But that's not true. The 4% rule created ad a result of the trinity study was based under the assumption that retirement would be 30 years. This is obviously not applicable here. Please research it

[@jmcm152]

These videos are so motivating! 💪🔥

[@vibol03]

so the trick is to be single...got it.

[@user-fx5sw4jy7hYz9Hzi]

WTF YOU MEAN RETIRED. HE'S NOT RETIRED. HE'S RUNNING TWO COMPANIES. WHAT A LIE.

[@emmanuelharbor2350]

Love his way of life!👊👊
