“7 Ways to Retire Comfortably With $1,000,000+”

Look at the man and the woman. Paddle boarding in their sixties. Trim, fit, vibrant, whole. 

I’m not sure about you, but I’m in my prime earning years. To be able to retire as a millionaire, we have to burn the candle at both ends; work, work, work; ignore our bodies as they cry for attention; less sleep and more productivity; go, go, go. 

As my waistline grows, so to does my bank account. 

At this rate, I may retire comfortably with $1,000,000+, but I won’t look at either of those two cartoons, and I definitely won’t be able to paddle board. 

This realization raises a question in my mind: Am I willing to earn less in order to prioritize my wellness? What about you?

Do you want to retire wealthy or healthy?
