Why Early Retirees Shouldn't Worry Too Much About the Stock Market
Deciding to retire early can be a gut-wrenching decision. On one hand, you have the freedom, the possibilities, and the life of your dreams waiting in the wings. On the other, there's the potential to never earn another cent and find yourself beholden to the slings and arrows of the stock market.
But Pete Adeney, better known as Mr. Money Mustache, believes we're making far too big a deal out of this black-and-white thinking. Retirement planning, he argues, should be looked at in more realistic terms that include shades of gray.
In this Feb. 23 video from Motley Fool Live with former Motley Fool contributor and frequent guest Morgan Housel, Adeney -- frequently mentioned in connection with the Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) movement -- explains a healthier approach to early retirement and worries about stock market returns.
