Reject the 40-40-40 Plan: 40 Hours Per Week, For 40 Years, For 40% Retirement - Financial Freedom, #233

I bought into the 40-40-40 plan hook, line, and sinker. In fact, I was 20+ years into the program before I realized it would never work. The 40-40-40 plan involves working 40 hours a week for 40 years and receiving 40% of your income for retirement. That is a lot of years for a little pay. Does this sound fun to you? I didn't think so. Therefore, let's try a different plan. I converted from the 40-40-40 plan to a Happy Cash Flow Retirement plan, which allowed me to retire at age 42.
It was a fantastic shift and one you can perform as well. Good Luck!
