Retire Early 101

SAVINGS

Set up a bank account (checking and savings account) with SoFi. You can have your employer automatically deposit your paycheck into your SoFi checking account, then create savings account auto-withdrawals every month for 20% of your paycheck. People automatically adjust their lifestyle according to their income (i.e don’t buy Starbucks daily).

• EXAMPLE: $5,000 paycheck each month deposited into your checking account. $1,000 auto-withdrawal to your savings account for investing. Earn 1.5% back on everything you buy with this credit card www.coursenvy.com/blockfi. Pay off the credit card bill monthly (this helps improve your credit score) using the $4,000 in your checking account.
