Cole transitioned from a $26,000 salary to planning to retire at 45 through four phases.
In 2012, I got my first job out of college as a social worker, earning $26,000.
I moved into a part-time consulting role for my old company and went all-in on building out my financial coaching business, Money Essentials for Women.
I've set myself up to retire at age 45 in 10 years, but transitioning from a $26,000 salary to an early retirement plan came in phases.
I'm setting up additional income sources to make money when I'm not actively working on them.
