Duane Retirement Interview - GREAT DAY HOUSTON

My 9/16/24 interview on Great Day Houston.
Hi, my name is Duane. After a career in the music industry, I retired early at 59 in 2021 with just over $500K. Soon thereafter, the stock market (and my investment portfolio) tanked. This is my early retirement journey.

Duane, you’re a celebrity 👍

[@hello9945]

Good job Duane; we love you

[@retirearly500k59]

You too!

[@thullraven1]

@@retirearly500k59 I've been following you for a while now. I'll take what you say and go even further: If you have healthcare covered, are TOTALLY debt free, have an emergency fund put aside for bad things happening, and have ENOUGH passive income to meet your needs and at least some of your wants, you don't need to have a ton of money to retire. I've been retired since 59. Keep up the great videos, Bro.

Way to go Duane!! ​@retirearly500k59
