How to retire early on  $60k salary?

Here's the path:
     1. Save 30% of your salary = $18,000/year
     2. Invest it in low cost index funds
     3. Let it compound over 25 years
     4. You will now have ~$1.5M in your portfolio

You don't need a raise — just a strategy.

What if you invested $500/month for 20 years?

In a total market index fund this is what you would return:
    • At 6% return: ~ $233K
    • At 8% return: ~ $296K
    • At 10% return: ~ $378K
The 🔑 is consistency, not timing the market..

Step 5 Continued 

What if we got crazy and picked up a side hustle which allowed us to contribute $1k a month

Now we're cooking with gas 🔥

We would have $2.3M at retirement following the rule of 4% we could withdraw $92,000 a year without impacting this balance.

Step 5: Get to the number you want

Lets say we have some wiggle room and we can contribute $750/ month. So simply go back to the calculator and change teh contributions. 

After we do that we have ..... $1.8M at retirement and now we see that we will have what we need for retirement.

But what if..

Step 4: Observe your forecasted retirement balance. 

Based on  the information I entered this individual will have $1.3M when they retire. 

You can then apply the rule of 4% and estimate your annual retirement income which would be $1.3M *0.04 = $52,000 /year

Don't like the number? lets tweak it!

If Adam contributes 20% of his paycheck every year for 40 years, he will have the following:
    Total Contributed: $811,682
    Total Return: $2,978,239
    Total for Retirement: $3,789,922
May 6, 2025 at 9:31 PM
If Adam contributes 10% of his paycheck every year for 40 years, he will have the following:
    Total Contributed: $401,041
    Total Return: $1,493,919
    Total for Retirement: $1,894,961

That's double what we saw previously, But would increasing this to 20% of his income make a big difference?

If Adam contributes 5% of his paycheck every year for 40 years, he will have the following:
    Total Contributed: $202,920
    Total Return: $744,759

Now, let's see what the payoff would be if he increased this to 10% of his income
