    My words of advice for all those wanting to retire early is concentrate on your spending, learn to live a frugal but good life,


    Ain't that the way. It doesn't have to be hair-shirt frugal, but spendy people in work tend to be spendy people in retirement. There's nothing wrong with that in itself, but you are less likely to be retiring early.


    While it seems simple to earn a shedload of money and save much more of it that your peers, people who earn loads of money tend to have a high-spend lifestyle, and peer pressure is a thing.
