And for most people, that’s good advice. But if your goal is to retire really early, you’ll need to get more aggressive in saving money. Perhaps you’re starting to fear retirement planning because you’re not doing something that the experts say you must do to retire. Don’t let the endless retirement advice you read and hear paralyze you. You can start a basic retirement plan in 15 minutes.
