#retirement #investing #earlyretirement #financialhealth #ourretireearlyjourney We are an American married couple (Cherie & Jim) with 3 "almost" grown children. We were like most couples; we never thought of our future retirement. We were too busy keeping up with the Jones' until 2020 when we took control of our future and stopped winging it. We have been planning all aspects of retirement since and have been successful in accelerating towards our goals of an early retirement. We have been inspired by many channels openly talking about their recent retirements and thought it might be fun to do the same to show the other angle of a couple working to obtain what they already have. We plan on openly sharing our goals, our retirement plans and our progress to potentially help others as we navigate towards retirement. Our goal here is simple, to inspire at least one person or couple to start investing in themselves and take control of their future retirement! We love interacting with the community so please drop us comments and ask us questions! #earlyretirement #retireearly #financialfreedom #financialeducation #retire #debt #health #healthy #retirementplanning #retirementsavings #budget #fire #retirement #budgeting #financialindependence
