He’s Working 60 Hours a Week to Retire Early… Is It Worth It?

Skylar (23) and Milet (26) are already living like financial mutants. They're saving 25%, maxing Roth IRAs, and sitting on a net worth of nearly $300,000, all while Skylar works three jobs and DIYs 1,800 square feet of backyard pavers on weekends. But the system that got them here might be holding them back from the flexibility they're building toward. We reveal the solo 401(k) opportunity that could save them nearly $7,000 in taxes annually, show why their 457 accounts are perfect for early retirement, and map out how they could reach their more beautiful tomorrow by 50-55, even if they drop to one income with kids.
