YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

This is the biggest barrier keeping you from retiring early, says a millennial who saved over $1 million to retire by 30.

In 2010, Grant Sabatier, then 24, had only $2.26 in his bank account. It wasn't even enough for him to buy lunch at Chipotle. He knew things needed to change, so he set a goal for himself on the spot: Earn $1 million and retire as early as possible.

And he did it: Sabatier boosted his income to more than $300,000 per year and managed to save around 80 percent of what he brought in, which he invested in the market.

Only five years, three months and six days later, Sabatier reached his goal with more than $1.2 million saved. That was in 2015.
