CNBC Make It asked three people who have continued to work into their 90s to share their best advice for building a long, happy career. Here’s what they shared.
I was self-employed right after school, did well, pay no rent. I’m fortunate. But i also don’t need much except my one expensive hobby (gaming and smarthome). I’m also a cheap fuck who doesn’t need big houses or fancy cars or silly branded clothes.
Same here. I’m in my early forties and retired. Small house, no kids, and we don’t carry debt beyond our mortgage, which will be paid off in 3 months. Not a fancy or flashy lifestyle by any means. It’s possible, it just takes sacrifice and living well below your means during your earning years.
How did you retire at 35…? Wtf

Also: no kids… Biggest saver.
