Woman who saved enough to retire by 26 reveals three golden rules she stuck to

Who doesn't want to retire early?

A TikTok influencer has revealed that she is set to retire at 26 - but don't worry; she's also shared her methodology and the three golden rules to success. Money blogger Tori Dunlap shared three finance-boosting options during a recent TikTok video which has since received over 650k likes. Speaking on via her account @herfirst100k, Dunlap explained: "I'm financially independent, which means I never have to work a day in my life if I don't want to. "Here are the three ways that I made that happen and how you can do it too: I started investing as soon as I could." Dunlap went on to explain that she always tells people: "that the best day to start investing is today because you didn't wait to start tomorrow."

She continued: "You have time on your side, so get started investing if you haven't, or increase your contributions if you have already started. "The next thing I did, when I was working corporate, I negotiated my salary, every single time. I didn't stay in a job that didn't compensate me fairly." Last but not least, Dunlap supports the idea of side-hustles and in fact, her "seven-figure business" started out as just that. "I side hustled in addition to my 9-5, which means that I was able to put away all of the extra earnings that I made," she said. "You should lead a Masterclass!!!" said one happy fan. Similarly, another wrote: "You > other "financial pop stars"." Others wanted more information, with one person writing: "Ok but what is investing tho??? Everyone says that and then never explains what exactly that is." Naturally, Dunlap suggested following her as she produces dedicated content on such topics. Related links:
