Featured in Times of India (for Early Retirement)

My wife and I got some coverage in Times of India a few weeks back.

The coverage was mainly about how some Indians are working towards their Financial Independence (or let’s say Early Retirement).

Here is the article:

After the article was published, I was amazed by the number of emails I received from people telling me how they too wished to achieve financial freedom. It made me happy that people are giving importance to this idea – irrespective of the reason that’s driving them.

Most readers would know that achieving financial independence is one of my major financial goals.

By when – Let’s see… I am planning to do it by 40. Fingers crossed! 🙂

But let me clarify one thing here… as many people get it wrong.

Becoming financial independent or achieving early retirement doesn’t mean that I would not be doing anything after I turn 40. It only means that I would have accumulated enough money to take care of my expenses for the rest of my life.

I will (no doubt) continue to do what I am doing right now – investment advisory.

Here, I must thank my wife Aditi who is my partner in crime in working towards this goal. Without her support, I could not have imagined aiming for such a goal. 🙂

If you are new to this idea of Financial Freedom or FIRE (Financial Independence & Retiring Early), then I have already written about it a few times:

• FIRE – Financial Independence & Retiring Early
• Financial Independence Day

Will try to write more about various aspects of Financial Freedom in near future – as I can clearly see that there are many people out there who wish to make Early Retirement as their biggest financial goal.
