On track to retire by age 27! Rachel from KY

[Rachel888]

Hey guys! First time poster here, but what an absolute dream to have found a forum with like-minded people. The only person in the world I have met who is as ambitious as me and shares the same goals and values as I do is my fiance, Andrew... so at least I am lucky in that regard! But a whole community of you... it's like Christmas morning!

So a little about me: I'm 25, I'm a finance analyst (sitting at my cubicle right now, not being the best employee...), I live in Kentucky with my fiance (30 yrs old) and our dog. Andrew and I had an incredible year last year. Here are some of the things we accomplished in 2017:

• We bought 2 rental properties, which bring in $3k/mo cash flow combined, 25% rate of return
• We started a POD T-Shirt business, earns about $1k/mo
• I got a promotion and a $10k raise
• I wrote and published my first ebook, Money Honey, earns about $500/mo
• I lost 20 lbs, Andrew lost 25 lbs... we are in the best shape of our lives!
• I won a $15k Sweepstakes the same weekend Andrew proposed... absolutely nuts
• We traveled to Colorado, NY, & Greece

The point here is that we went from $0 in passive income to $4,500/mo in passive income... all within a year! To top it off, we just closed on our 4th rental property 2 weeks ago which will bring in another $2k/mo. I feel like I can share these details / accomplishments with you all and it won't come off as braggy (because it sure feels like it and I don't mean to) but rather excited at how impactful the Millionaire Fastlane mindset is.

We are thrilled with our momentum and can't wait to retire early. So now for our goals...

• Retire by May 2020 (I will be 27, Andrew will be 32) and move out West
• Grow passive income to $10k/month AT LEAST with real estate
• Hire property management company for our rentals
• what else? (would love some suggestions)

I'm excited to be here, interact with you all, and hopefully make some new friends. Would love to talk to other real estate investors, authors, or POD business owners! You guys are awesome!

Are there any other youngins in here like Andrew and me? I would especially love to hear from those of you who ALREADY retired and that had to walk away from extremely lucrative full-time jobs. My worry is that our full-time/actively earned income is so high that we won't want to quit, even though we can!
