CHAPTER CHECKLIST

If you need a checklist for how to retire young, here is how I did it.

Work hard and save every penny you earn at a job that pays a good salary.

Live as cheaply as you can and invest your savings with care.

Find stocks in which a buyout collapses. Buy when they bottom.

Hold those stocks for the long term (I held some of Michaels Stores for 18 years).

Hope that they move up—a lot.
