What websites?The odds are certainly stacked against willing early retirees. There are a few websites to research this idea, with a handful of Irish contributors.
Govt. dont want people retiring early - want you to keep toiling, generating tax revenues, staying in debt and buying more stuff.
You would need a large fund of money or properties to do it.
Pension funds are only accessible from age 50. Are you talking about younger that this?
One of the reasons I read was due to the 41% tax on investment income gains. With this, you would need to work almost twice as much as other countries if investing the money into index funds etc. And yes I mean younger than 50, say early 40's
GG, we are talking about early retirement, well before age 50. Pensions are not relevant as they cant be touched before this age. The solutions lie elsewhere.
