Why must we work until we are 65? Who determined these rules? How about we work long enough to build our base of assets?

Once we acquire enough assets to fund our lifestyle, we are free. It sounds easy in theory, but it's not that difficult in practice.

The toughest part of freeing yourself from the workforce is your mindset. If you depend on a job, you'll always depend on it.

If you slowly free yourself from your job by investing in assets (like dividend stocks), you'll eventually free yourself. Like everything else in life, it's your choice. Good Luck!
