Thank you! Yours it’s a great article and we’re more than happy to share it with our audience.

Tread Lightly, Retire Early

Choosing the right parter is really #1 in my opinion. I married at 21 to a frugal guy, and that alone has set us up to be in a really good spot as we enter our 30s in a few months.

I have to agree with you 100% on this one. As Tanya was editing this article she pointed this one out and I added it at the end. How could I have forgotten this one?!?
So yes, if you marry the right person you’ll set yourself up for financial success. Thanks for reading!
