“Retired” at 35
Here’s an interesting story about a guy who at 35, with 2 small children, has managed to retire (hat tip: jc).
He’s exploiting the Canadian system, by relying heavily on the Child Tax Benefit, which surely wasn’t intended for able-bodied intelligent folk. Not to mention that he probably didn’t pay much tax in this country while he was living in Korea for 5 years. You still have to hand it to the guy, he knows how to exploit the system.
[A] month shy of his 35th birthday, the former telemarketer and Radio Shack salesman has done what most hard-working Canadians spend decades trying to achieve: He has punched out of the working world.
“There will be no financial reason for me to ever get a job again,” says Mr. Foster, who has used his free time to self-publish a book, called Stop Working, Here’s How You Can!, (http://www.stopworking.ca) that details how he escaped the rat race long before osteoporosis set in.
