Early retirement means we get to spend more time doing stuff we love — like traveling — instead of working our lives away. And to be honest, it was pretty easy to achieve thanks to some lessons we tweaked from the FIRE movement.
Realizing that we didn't need to spend a lot of money to be happy, we reduced our expenses, invested more money into stocks, bonds, and real estate, and eventually quit our full-time jobs forever. Along the way, we had fun, traveled more, and stressed less.
