Retire Early Lifestyle is a content based website that appeals to a different kind of person - the person who prizes their independence, values their time, and who doesn't want to mindlessly follow the crowd.


THE ADVENTURER'S GUIDE was very impressive. I found myself nodding in agreement most of the time I was reading your book... I really appreciated the parts that explained what happened in your lives to propel you forward and the frank discussions of your personal spending and finances. That, I believe, is the single largest unknown: what financial steps are recommended to proceed. Thank you very much for your hard work. And thanks for sharing your experiences. - David Cross, Alexandria, VA

Billy and Akaisha Kaderli

As the years have gone by, we have received many questions about FIRE. We’ve spoken to those who wish to retire early, and to those who have already done so.

Man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the sport of every wind. With such persons, gullibility, which they call faith, takes the helm from the hand of reason and the mind becomes a wreck.- Thomas Jefferson (1822)
