I wish I had time to write about my experiences as I’m 10 years away from successfully retiring but I have to say, you 20+ year old readers really need to listen to what this guy is saying.
Don’t follow his advice to a tee but read in between the lines and understand the meaning.
At least do this, print his post out and re-read it when your approaching 40 as it will have a different meaning and when your 50 years old, you will think this guy was a prophet.
I agree, though I am probably closer to 30 years form retiring.
I _hate_ the specific advice in the article (find a job with a pension? My parents have done well with this, but I trust most companies that would hire me about as far as I can throw their annual report), but the "between the lines" idea that we should "find stable things that you can enjoy for a long time" is both not obvious and important.
