HOW TO RETIRE EARLY AND RICH
Have you ever thought about retiring early? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to not have to work till your 65 to 70 years old? If so, then this post about how to retire early and rich is for you.
Before I provide you with some critical insights on how you can begin the process of retiring early, let me share with you this short little story.
I was just a few years into my budding career when I came across a book that provided me with a simple secret on how to retire young, and maybe even rich. Undeniably, it was a book that changed my life forever.
In those early days just after college, all I read at the time were Philosophy books. Books by Voltaire, Nietzsche, Emerson and the like. In fact, I was on my way to the Philosophy section at my local Barnes & Noble the day I crossed paths with that life-changing book.
There was something that drew me to this book on that fateful day. I am not sure if it was the title of the book or it’s off-beat purple color that caught my eye. All I know is that once I laid eyes on it, I just had to pick it up.
Fortunately for me, the title indicated advice that I was in desperate need of.
At the time I had just recently boomeranged back to living with my grandparent’s, I had a college degree in hand along with a good job at the time, but I was not the greatest at handling money. I was great at saving money, but I was also really good at finding a way to spend that saved money once I reach around $10 to $15 in savings.
Needless to say, if there were a fast track to getting rich and retiring young, I sure as heck wasn’t on it. But, I followed these steps outlined below, and it changed everything for me. So, if you want to retire early, give these ideas some consideration:
1. Read This Book
Here’s where you should start. Read this book, it is a book that changed my life.
Now, quick disclaimer, This book was no magic pill. It didn’t make me richer over night. But, it did help me find riches (relatively speaking), and it’s been helping me become richer year over year.
So, what was the title of this book?
It was called ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’.
Now, I know this book has been around for a long time, since 1997 to be exact. In fact, as I write this, I keep thinking to myself, “man this is old-hat. Why are you writing about this? Everyone has already heard of this book.”
But, the truth is, I feel compelled to write about it because maybe you’ve never read it. Or, maybe you’ve heard of it, but have yet to crack it open. Or, maybe you still think like I thought before I read the book.
Maybe you think money is bad, or that becoming rich and retiring early is not possible for you. Or, maybe you just need a good ole kick in the financial pants like I did back then, and you’re waiting for someone to give you that kick. Maybe this is your kick…so, here we are.
2. Allow Money to Motivate You
Know this, before I read this book, my mind wasn’t open, especially when it came to money. Sure, I was a “open-minded thinker” when it came to philosophy, politics, and all those other time-wasting topics that typically make people feel more miserable and more powerless the more they read of it.
But, when it came to money and getting rich, I was clueless.
On top of that, before I read this book, I wasn’t a very motivated person. I mean, I was motivated enough to drag my butt out of bed and drive to work every morning, but I wasn’t on fire for life (for at least four days out of the week…Monday – Thursday), and I wasn’t on fire for my future.
But then… then I read this book and it did something to me. It transformed my mindset. It helped me open my eyes to the possibilities of living a life of abundance. It opened my eyes to the prospect of retiring young and retiring rich. In short, it lit a fire under my ass.
And I am sure it can do the same for you.
How do I know? Well, I’ve learned over the years that when we have an exciting vision for our future, amazing things start to happen.
That’s why I always preach about having compelling goals as your best source of motivation. And it’s the reason I created the Strive Journal; to get that compelling goal of yours in front of you, every… single….day.
Why? Because that’s how winning is done.
Set some money goals (get rid of debt, net worth, etc..) and let them pull you!
3. Shift Your Mindset
With that being said, there are countless other books out there that can help you understand the money-game or give you advice that can help you retire early, but if you come from humble beginnings like me, you’re going to need a book that can shift your financial mindset. And no doubt about it, “Rich Dad Poor Dad” will do the trick.
Once you allow this book to shift your mindset, you’ll likely want to read other financial books. So, if this book piques your financial curiosity like I think it will, here is a great set of follow up books you can also read to improve your financial IQ.
- The Millionaire Mind
- The Automatic Millionaire
- The Way to Wealth
- Cash Flow Quadrant
- The Millionaire Fastlane
- Retire Young Retire Rich
- The Richest Man in Babylon
As they say…”If you want to earn more, you have to learn more.” Or even better, “If you want to earn faster, learn faster.”
Now, I don’t want to leave you with… “Okay, now just go read this book and this is how you will retire early”, so I am going to give you a few insights you can start applying to your life today…book or no book.
Here is one of the biggest takeaways I got from the book that you can start leveraging today if you’re not already doing so. You ready for it?
Here it is, you can retire early and you can retire rich, if you focus on the accumulation of assets over liabilities, and income over expenses.
What do I mean by this? Let me give you a little helpful break down.

4. Prioritize Assets Over Liabilities
What are assets? Well, as a very simple definition, an asset is anything that grows in value over time. For instance, and asset is a piece of property like real estate, a business, stocks (shares of ownership of a business), precious metals, intellectual property, or pretty much any item that holds value or becomes more valuable over time.
Whereas liabilities, especially as voiced in the book, are things that you owe money on. This could be credit card debt, your mortgage, car loan, your student loan, etc. Basically, it’s anything you are obligated to pay for and keep paying for.
So, the book does a great job pinpointing exactly how the rich think, by showing us what we should be accumulating more of (assets). I know this may seem like common sense. But hey, common sense isn’t so common.
Truth is, most people go about their days growing their liabilities to keep up with their neighbors, instead of growing their assets to keep up with their vision for their future.
Unfortunately, far too many people float along through life, living in a form of fairy tale, thinking someone somewhere down the road is going to take care of everything for them.
But, the reality of it, is that no one is going to save you. No one is coming, there are no heroes when it comes to your own financial future. The government, social security, or that social revolution isn’t going to bail you out. So, you’ll have to save yourself. You have to become your own hero.
And the best way to become your own hero is to take control of your own financial future. And you start taking control of your financial future when you begin to understand the difference between assets and liabilities, and then choose every day to focus on growing your assets and reducing your liabilities.
“An Asset Puts Money In My Pocket. A Liability Takes Money Out Of My Pocket.”
– robert kiyosaki –
Become obsessed with this idea. Start thinking “assets over liabilities…assets over liabilities” every time you’re about spend a dollar. This is the mindset needed to create an abundant future for yourself. This is the mindset you need if you want to get rich.
It’s not sexy, it’s not pretty, it’s not convenient…it’s just the truth.
But, thinking this way alone is not enough, you’ll also have to master this battle too…
5. Focus on Income Over Expenses
We all know what income is and what expenses are. But what this book does a good job of doing, is hammering over and over into our minds WHY we need to gain control over our expenses. The reason? So you have more income left over at the end of the month, extra income that can then be invested into assets. Not liabilities, not in things you don’t need, not into fluff and excess stuff, into assets.
The crazy thing about a lot people, is they think they have to spend every last dollar they make. Just as soon as these people get their paychecks they find a way to burn through it.
When I see people do this, I shake my head and think to myself, “Come on…. do you really want to be stuck working a job or operating a business your whole life?!”
Please, pretty please…don’t be “that” person. There is more to life than being chained to the constant grind.
Get your expenses down to as low as possible. By doing this, you increase the amount of income you have left over at the end of the month. Then you can take that extra income and invest it in your future by investing in assets. Assets like real estate, investment funds, or a business.
Learn how to master your expenses and invest your income wisely. It’s a simple formula. And if you don’t want to be a slave to your circumstances FOREVER, it’s a formula worth following.
Now, many people might say, “well I don’t make enough money” or “If I follow this plan I won’t have much left to live off of”, etc…. Unfortunately, most people make excuses, that’s why most people don’t retire young and very few retire rich. It’s the reason most people have to wait till they’re 65 before they can scratch their own itch.
But you don’t have to be most people. You choose which camp you want to be in. We all got to start being smarter with our money sometime. Why not make that sometime now?
6. Start Tracking Your Money
One of the best things I ever did for growing my wealth was a two-part process; kill my excess spending and siphon every extra dollar into investments. The second best thing I ever did, was to begin tracking my wealth on a dry-erase board.
Sure, I could have tracked it on a spreadsheet or some new fancy financial app, but putting those numbers on a physical board where I could see them every single day, made my assets and net-worth feel more tangible… more real. Not sure why, it just did, and that feeling kept me motivated to keep striving to grow my wealth. Still does.

Truly, there is something powerful about knowing where you stand financially, and being able to visibly see your assets grow month over month. Here’s how you can do the same thing. Go out and get you a 17″ x 23″ dry-erase board, something like this…..
Then on that dry-erase board, draw a cross through it, creating four equal quadrants. On the top left quadrant, list out all your assets and total them. Then, on the upper right quadrant, list out all your liabilities and total them.
On the bottom left quadrant, graph the growth of your assets month over month (doing this tracks your growth and is very motivating). Similarly, use the right bottom quadrant to graph the reduction of your liabilities month over month (again, the biggest benefit of doing this is for moral purposes…because observing your own progress will help you keep your spirits up).
Then, draw a small rectangle in the center of all four quadrants, in this rectangle subtract your liabilities from your assets, and voila, you have your net-worth. You still with me?
If not, below is an image of what I am describing. It’s an exact replica of the system I use on my own dry-erase board (figures are for educational purposes only). As they say, there are a hundred ways to skin a cat, so feel free to use these ideas or create your own little something if that works best for you.
7. Determine How Much You Need to Retire Early
Now, one of the most crucial aspects related to retiring early, is knowing exactly how much you need to retire. You can have the best money management habits, but if you never take the time to determine exactly how much you need to call it quits on the 9-to-5, you never do so.
With that being said, make sure you discover exactly how much money you’d like to have coming to you every month once you retire. A good place to start, is to assess how much you’ll need at a bare minimum for all your necessary expenses, and then to add any other expenses that you are sure you’ll want to enjoy while you are retired.
Once you have that number, you essentially have your financial independence number (also widely known as your FI number). This number is ultimately how much money you need to cover your expenses and wants every month.
From this point forward you’ll be set to start working towards creating cash flow and revenue that would help you meet this financial goal. For example, if you estimate your future monthly expenses to be around $3,750 (equivalent to $45,000 per year), then you can work towards anyone of these goals to get to your intended outcome:
- Invest $800,000 in an investment yielding around 5.5% annually = $45,000 per year
- Invest $1,000,0000 in an investment yielding 4.5% annually = 45,000 per year
- Build a side-hustle that pays you passive income = $3,750 per month
- Invest in 7 or 8 $250,000 multi-unit properties cash flowing around $500 each = $45,000
- Or any combination of the above in differing amounts to help you get to your number.
Obviously, these are just hypothetical numbers above, but they are doable if your FI number was a modest $45,000 per year. Now, if you wanted or needed more money each month, then you FI number as they call it, would have to be adjusted up.
The great news is, once your inflow from investments, side-hustles, etc.. match your FI number, you can, if you wish to… retire young!
How about that!

Conclusion
And that’s that. Start actively tracking and measuring your assets, and financially speaking…you’ll put yourself leagues above your peers. On top of that, you’ll be in a much better position for retiring early…and maybe even rich.
But most importantly, you’ll discover exactly how much money you’ll need to either stash away, or how much money you’ll need a business to produce for you, so can live off of the income those investments produce for you.
“What Gets Measured Gets Improved.”
– peter drucker –
What it all comes down to in the end my friend, is awareness and discipline. Be aware of what your future will look like if you fail to be smart with your money now. And be aware of the money milestones you’ll need to reach to retire early. Then get disciplined enough to do what you must to turn that goal of young retirement into a reality.
Without a doubt, if you do these things outlined on this post, you’ll be able to create the future you want for yourself and retire sooner, rather than later.

Master P (Percy Miller) is a highly successful American businessman who is most well known from his extremely popular rap label ‘No Limit Records’ and from being one of the most productive and successful rappers in American history. His entrepreneurial approach to music, combined with his relentless drive to improve the lives of his family, and those in his community has helped him become extremely rich. How rich? Well, that’s exactly what we aim to highlight on this Master P net worth profile.
So, if you want to how how much Master P is worth these days, or what his current earning power is, then this page is for you. Also, just for good measure we’ll also include a few interesting facts related to his success and current ventures. Let’s dive in.
What Is Master P’s Net Worth?
Master P’s net worth was once estimated to be nearly $350 million when he was at his prime. But it dropped significantly when his wife at the time sought a divorce back in 2014. According to TMZ his now ex-wife sought over $67 million of their $178 million fortune that year.[1] Eventually they settled everything financially back in 2016, and they became officially divorce in 2022.[2]
That said, Master P’s net worth has been estimated to be around $200 million since 2017 per Celebrity Net worth. But Master P’s actual net worth has changed since. Per our analysis, Master P’s current net worth as of 2026 is estimated at $340 million.
How Much Does Master P Make Per Year?
Master P is still making moves, and is involved in various projects to help his community. He will forever be known as a Hip Hop mogul, and will pull in royalties on the works he’s done from the past for years to come. But these days, he’s pushing into new industries.
He’s expanded into the movie industry, video game industry, toy industry, sports industry and many more. Now, his next target is the food industry. P has his sights set on pushing products that find themselves on the grocery store shelves or auto showrooms.
Always a big thinker, he’s moved on to creating a line up of products, like cereal, syrup, oatmeal, snacks, and more, with profits going back to the community. [3] Inspired by Elon Musk, he also has plans for creating black-owned supercars.[4]
That said, his focus these days is to push most of the profit he makes from his enterprises back into the black community, so getting his most up-to-date income is hard to come by. However, we can still provide a baseline income, based off the earning power of his net worth.
To get P’s baseline income, we simply assume he’s a savvy enough investor to earn a 4.5% annual yield off of his net worth (not hard with 3-5% annual returns on safe investments historically). Assuming a hypothetical transfer of all of his assets into various safe dividend/cashflow yielding assets like REITS, ETFs, and Stocks, Master P could easily be making $15.3 million a year.

How Did Master P Get So Rich?
Master P’s rise to fame and fortune was no overnight feat. He struggled to make it out of the dangerous streets of New Orleans, and eventually fell into the drug game as a way to make ends meet. After realizing that he wanted more for himself and his newborn son at the time, he moved his budding family California to start over.
It wasn’t too long after he arrived, that he serendipitously acquired a small $10,000 payout from his grandfather’s wrongful death suit. This money became the startup capital which he leveraged to open up his own record store business. He struggled with the business for a time, but it led him into gangster rap, which his record store began selling to fulfill the local demand.
This led to his interest in becoming a rapper himself, so as to share his experiences from the hood with eager listeners. Slowly but surely, he grew his fan base, improved his delivery, and once he figured out the marketing and distribution side of the music business, his success took off.
As a savvy business man and master marketer, Master P leaned into the industry to become more than just a rapper. He decided to become a producer, owner, and entrepreneur of his own label. And in a sense, he became a virtual rap factory, turning out new beats, new artists, all with trendy branding and packaging that took the country by storm. By 1998 his relentless efforts saw him bring over $160 million that single year alone.
And as a big thinking business man, Master P has yet to shy away from new projects that continue to build his wealth and improve the lives of those he serves.

This play was particularly important to Perry, as it was an account of his painful past, and was created to help others deal with their past.

This initial success eventually lead to over $100 million in ticket sales, $20 million in merchandise sold, and $30 million in videos, even before the flood of opportunities from Hollywood would begin opening up for him.

And as you’d expect with winning countless entertainment awards, starting his own streaming service, production media business, and putting on multi-million dollar tours, he’s built himself a sizeable fortune.
So, that’s exactly what this page will be highlighting, Kevin Hart’s net worth and his current earning power. We’ll also include a few Kevin Hart fun facts related to his life, success and potential. So, let’s dive in.
KEVIN HART NET WORTH
So, what is the net worth of Kevin Hart? As of 2026, Hart is worth approximately $470 million. However as his popularity rises, and as he continues to flex his business muscles, like his founding of Hartbeat media (currently valued at $650 million), his fortune will only continue to grow.
In fact, we predict Kevin Hart will be a billionaire in just a few short years, especially considering how fast his net worth has grown since 2010; having gone from a net worth of roughly $9 million to $470 million in just 13 short years.[1]
Just in case you were wondering, this comes out to a whopping 5,122% growth rate over the past 13 years. To put it another way, this comes out to a growth rate of roughly 35.5% year over year. Anyway you slice it, it’s extremely impressive!
How Much Does Kevin Hart Make a Year?
With a growth rate like this, you probably want to know what Kevin Hart’s salary is, or how much he makes per year. Well, on average, Hart makes between $50 to $70 million per year in income. This is a conservative estimate based on Hart’s history of having some years that brought in $87.5 million, and some years that brought in $65 million.
So, our cautious estimate of how much Kevin Hart makes is around the $60 million per year mark. Having said that, here’s how much Kevin Hart could make if he decided to hang up his hat and retire today.
To get this estimate, we must assume he’ll take his entire $470 million net worth, liquidate it, and then invest that money in an asset that pays out on average 4% annually. Why 4%? Because 3% to 5% is what average returns on safe investments have been historically.[2]
That said, Kevin Hart could easily make $18.8 million per year starting today, if he cashed it all out and retired. This also comes out to around $1.57 million per month. That’s not bad for an early retirement plan!
