Retiring early isn’t just for the one percent. But the old plan—work for 40 years and retire on saved income–is no longer working for most people. Our latest Instaread, Set for Life, is designed to help people who earn a median income and have little or no savings produce retirement-level wealth in less than 10 years. Sound good?

That means you can’t become dependent on a standardized career track with predictable earnings increases. You have to start looking for outside income opportunities, which means investing.
