How to Retire Young

By: Vince Shorb

One of the biggest advantages of youth is how easy it is to become a young millionaire. There are simple steps that you can take that will almost guarantee that you can retire young.

Just by following a consistent investment plan you could be enjoying the freedom that comes with being a young millionaire. A simple investment, in the overall stock market, could help you to retire young. Consider these examples:

- $149 invested each month starting when your 18 years old could make you a young millionaire at age 52.

Financially educated youth have tremendous advantages that average young adults don't have. Just by being aware that you can retire young with a simple investment strategy is enough to encourage some to take the necessary steps to reach young millionaire status.

Compounding interest is defined as the interest earned from the initial money you personally invested plus the interest earned from the amount your investments have already returned. To clarify, the money that you already made from your investments starts to earn you money. So, year after year, you're making money off money you already made.

Investing young allows you to get the maximum benefit from compounding interest. Because you're making money (earning a return) on what your investments have already paid you, the younger you start the faster and larger your investment account may grow. That's why investing young gives you a huge advantage.

The S&P 500 index is one way for the non-professional investor, that doesn't have a lot of knowledge or time, to profit from the stock market.

3) Consistency. Simplicity equals consistency; and consistency is a major factor in becoming a young millionaire. Choosing a simple investment vehicle is the first step. Next it's simple a matter of modifying your investment account so your make consistent investments automatically.
