This week, Lauren interviews the Landshark, who is entering early retirement. Except for his name, he's an open book in terms of salary, net worth, withdrawal strategy, and more. The Landshark is transparent about his family's journey, including not trusting the math for over a year. They discuss reactions of friends, family, and colleagues ("we're not as important to other people as we might think we are.") Why retire early? More time is not guaranteed, so why trade what time you have for money?
The Landshark is a husband and father who recently retired from a career as a practicing lawyer in his early 40s. Through a high savings rate and disciplined practice of investing in low-cost index funds, the Landshark was able to eliminate his debts and achieve financial independence. He's documenting the ups and downs of early retirement on his Twitter account (@iamlandshark) and on his blog at http://Landshark.org. He likes long walks on the beach and the occasional surfer and doesn't take himself too seriously and neither should you.
