The only thing worse than a 50% loss within a few years of retirement is a 50% a few years after retiring. Time really is your best ally in investing.</p>Moneymonk commented on 'How to Retire Early'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e20120a5ca1a1f970b2009-10-07T17:22:53Z2009-10-07T17:22:53ZMoneymonkhttp://www.moneymonk.net...sooner if the market gets its act together" This can be the brutal factor in retiring early.

<p>This can be the brutal factor in retiring early. Some people retired with a 40% loss.</p>
<p>I want to have enough money to live my lifestyle regardless of the stock market.</p>
<p>The facts you presented is good, if one keep a steady income stream for decades.</p>

<p>In your example about someone making $200K per year, this must mean after taxes right? Because $200K gross would work out to about $120K a year after taxes.... </p>
<p>Just saying because I am one of those heavy savers and for sure my biggest expense on gross income is the dreaded t-word.</p>

<p>I like #2 - modest lifestyle. There really is no limit on the amount of income you can save, which means there is no limit on how early you can retire. </p>

If it means "aggressively contributing to your investing" then I would agree. However, if it means, "To invest in an aggressive manner" then I would agree that that's not always a good idea.</p>
