It's quite the process but the earlier you start aiming for retirement, the more options one will have. I've worked as a Nurse for most of my life and I have retired early last year due to health problems.
I now live off 4 streams of pension income, one stream of investment income from a portfolio of Stocks,gold,silver,ETFs and Crypto, two sources of rental income and my home is mortgage free.

I had some good advice in the past with timely good luck, I'm not sure I can duplicate this again in my current condition.

Wishing you be successful future @builderofcastles
