Old age means living next to the beach, making the most of your life savings away, and social security checks -sad to say those days were gone. Today, it's tough to get by even just for a month even if you are doing work full-time. It is not an option to just save money and use that on your retirement. The worth of your money in the long run will continue to decrease because of the quick inflation rate. In a decade, your 1000 dollars will be worth less than what it is presently. You must include the possibility to retire early, as well as to retire satisfied and comfortable with respect to your retirement plans.

If you're thinking of investing your money on the stockmarket, I really want you to think again.

2.    Anticipate where you are headed - The US has a lot of rich real estate investors. They're ordinary people just like you and me who started small and managed to make it big. It's solid proof that anybody can make it big in real estate investing. Purchase a small, inexpensive and rundown property. Flip it, rent it out, and make money from it. Acquire an additional property, repeat. In a few years, you may sell it at a higher price.

3.    Make your ideas happen - The younger you start saving, the quicker you can retire so begin saving at an early age. Pay off any mortgages and housing loans.
