How does real estate investment fare as in a method of making you financially independent in retirement?
Being financially independent in your later years is a feat by itself. According to a study by the U.S. Government, of all people over the age of 65, only 6% are financially independent. Also, according to this same study, all of the lucky segment became financially independent partly or wholly through ownership of real estate. No one buys their first home as a reason for financial independence at retirement, but that’s the way it often works out.
