At just 30 and 27 years old, Quinn and Brittney Sturgis, a married couple serving in the Air Force, are on track to retire in their early 40s — if they choose to.
"We're not necessarily focused on trying to hit a certain number by a certain age to completely retire," says Quinn, an Air Force pilot.
Both officers are stationed at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, California, earning just over $263,000 in combined salary and paid military benefits.
Of course, military service comes with trade-offs.
The rest of their contributions are split between individual Roth IRA accounts, a taxable brokerage account and a 529 college savings plan.
