How to retire successfully on $500,000 and grow your portfolio

Just over 30 years ago, this couple retired with $500,000 in savings. They now have $1 million! They used the approach to investing that the Monday Morning Program promotes.

One of our members drew my attention to this couple yesterday.

Dentists are among the highest earners in North America, yet the American Dental Association reports that 96% of them could not retire by age 65 and maintain their living standard. That is likely true of most self-employed professionals in North America.

Another one of our members stands at the other end of the scale. Using the high income of a dentist and behaving like this couple, Florida dentist Dr. J. S. built a $20 million portfolio over the same length of time. (He still goes to work four days a week for the satisfaction that money cannot buy.)
