Settle All Existing Debt 

If one thing is going to force you to hold onto your day job, it is debt. Debt can take many forms and tends to increase faster than one realizes. Before you know it, you owe thousands of dollars to creditors spread far and wide. If this is the case for you, eliminating your debt, and being cautious not to incur any more, should be a top priority going forward. 

Start Saving 

In order to retire early, most experts recommend that you strive to save at least 25% of your income. Make saving money a strong focus every month, and ensure that you do not touch this money unless it is absolutely necessary. You will be amazed at how quickly your retirement nest egg begins to grow!

Know Your Numbers 

Obviously, you do not want to retire unless you know for certain that you will be able to support yourself and your family without your regular income. So, just how much money will you need to accumulate? According to the 4% Safe Withdrawal Rate, it is recommended that your total net worth equals a minimum of 25 times your annual expenses.
