Early retirement: how can people retire at the age of 40? – Business

Mareile Wiegmann knows exactly what her life should look like later: the young woman wants to live in a house in the country with her partner and one or two children. Goats and chickens live in her garden, and home-grown tomatoes, courgettes and bushes with berries thrive. The family is largely self-sufficient, while Wiegmann is also involved in social projects. No overtime, no stressful job, just do what she feels like doing – at least that’s the dream. This life should give her the financial freedom for which Wiegmann has been working hard for years. The 29-year-old belongs to the “frugalism” movement. She is one of those people who want to be taken care of by the age of 40 at the latest.
