Have you ever heard the phrase, “You can’t build wealth working a 9 to 5 job?” It’s not true, and I’m proof-positive of how working a traditional 9 to 5 job can get you rich. Your 9 to 5 job probably offers everything you need to build wealth over time. But, believe it or not, people get rich from their regular jobs all the time. After all, we aren’t all business owners, are we? Of course not. Most of us aren’t.

No lottery. No inheritance. I did not sell a business for millions, either. I achieved financial freedom at 35 by using old-fashioned money principles that changed my life. What is “financial freedom”, anyway? Financial freedom means that you live a fully-funded lifestyle that does not require a full-time job to support, though you may still choose to work a job you enjoy. It means you have complete control over your life and the choices that you make.

Without us noticing, our repetitive daily habits burn a hole in our wallets and drain our bank accounts. And they are keeping us from building wealth. Considering that 69% of adult Americans have less than $1,000 in a savings account, we are spending too much of our hard-earned money.

Early retirement isn’t rocket science, though sometimes it can seem like it. Early retirees quit the rat race years (and sometimes decades) before the traditional retirement age of 62 to 65. I retired from full-time work at 35 and know a thing or two about how this works. It seems complicated, but it’s not. It just takes some time. A high income is great, but that’s far from the only thing required to retire early. Investing in assets is a huge factor, as is your cash flow.
