According to the U.S. Census Bureau. In April of 2007, 15 million American Households had a net worth over $500,000. That means 15 million American Families can stop working right now. An individual can retire on even less.
Over 30 million American Adults don't need to be working!
Why are so many Americans working when they don't have to? Why don't you know about this? Why? One of the reasons is Because you are more profitable when you are working.
More profitable to government and more profitable to big business. It's in no ones financial interest, for you to retire, but your own.
The fact is, that your retirement could cost a lot of people, a lot of money. When you retire, you will pay less taxes, buy less stuff, and stop funding the financial industry.
If you think you need to be rich to retire, you probably won't retire early, because very few people believe that they are as rich as they should be.
If you understand the secret to retiring early - then you will understand how you can retire on only $500,000.
