Early retirement is a dream that many share but few are able to pull off successfully. The average worker expects to need around $1.8 million to retire comfortably, according to a 2024 survey from Charles Schwab, and that figure could be even higher for those retiring early.
However, having a side hustle can make early retirement more attainable. Flexible work options can give you more freedom to travel and enjoy leisure activities, and with an extra source of income, you won’t need to pull as much from your savings. Here are a few choices for those looking to ditch the 9-to-5.
