This thread was inspired by @future chadlite
I might make a special thread about industries you can get into to make this feasible at any IQ , but i briefly mention this in this thread

However the mathematics for retiring early is actually pretty simple

However to save more than 50% of your income you either need to make a lot of money, or save like a mad person. The latter is not reccomded because you have to maintain this diminished standard of living into retirement. So what's a number I think is a comfortable amount for most people to retire on and live on while working. This is based on NYC
~ 40-50k post-tax
>This allows 24k/yr for rent and 16k for other expenses like food, clothes, insurance and others.
So you'd need to make 80-100k total
How much is this pre-tax
This may seem unfeasible to many, but I know plumbers that work for other people that make this much. I also know many small business owners that make north of 200k.
Also never forget I went from bagging groceries to charging $60/hr for my software, and nowadays I charge between $180-$300/hr depending on the complexity of the work. I'm not saying it's easy , but it's feasible
