How to Retire at 21
With the internet booming with bloggers and new websites everyday, more and more people are finding a way to make an income online. Some of course better than others. One person, Michael Dunlop, has seemingly made it his goal to show you how to retire at 21.
Young Retirement
“In the world of retirement, 21 is the new 60.”
The concept is a little fuzzy for me, I haven’t been able to tell if Michael Dunlop is actually “retired”. However, he writes about and interviews many of young entrepreneurs that are making tons of money online, at a very young age. He even offers a Free Ebook full of tips to make money online.
The Retire@21 web page is very well laid out to help you find what you are looking for. Diving into this website for the first time I can’t figure out which part is my favorite, so I will tell you about them all!
Interviews
Michael has put together an amazing list of interviews with young entrepreneurs. There are currently about three pages, with many more to come I’m sure, since we haven’t been interviewed yet (hint).
Most bloggers should recognize the names Nate Whitehill, Tyler Cruz, Jonathan Volk, Aaron Wall, and Yaro Starak. All have been interviewed by Michael at Retire@21. Each interview asks about 10-12 questions of internet related questions.
Two Great Toplists
I am a sucker for anything that ranks websites, I always want to be included. Michael has put together two great toplists to be apart of.
The first is the Top 21 Young Run Websites. This includes Facebook (age 23), Runescape (age 28) and Wordpress (age 23). It even includes Entrecard, which is run by 21 year old Graham Langdon.
The second toplist is a version of the Top Making Money Online Blogs. Michael has purchased reviews from several different blogs. The list is compiled of which blogs were best for the money including how many clicks, words, and comments were received. Currently Tyler Cruz is at the top of the list, however Michael is still continuing his experiment.
Now Can You Retire?
Retire@21 is a resource website and blog with plenty of information. The layout is pretty simple, however there isn’t a search bar so I couldn’t find everything I wanted to. The website flow is very busy, but it’s pretty clean, the balance is very nice.
I can’t find really anything bad to say about this website, which is why I have subscribed to the RSS feed and you should too! Don’t forget to grab the Retire at 21’s FREE Secrets to Making Money Online Ebook.

Wow, he’s buying out reviews on every single blog, huh? I guess it’s great when you have tons of money to spend on doing so!

So, does this mean that since I saw 21 a good many years ago, I can a) retire immediately? or b) never retire — it’s too late?
Just being silly.
Tell him I sell reviews, too.

What kind of goal is retiring at 21? You would have a pretty boring life after that. Now if it said - get rich doing what you love - that’s another story. If I could just blog and make tons of money, I wouldn’t retire. I’d keep on blogging.

He isn’t selling anything and the interviews are a great insight into some of these people who have had success at a young age.
By “retiring” it’s basically not working a 9 to 5 job. Being on the internet full-time you can essentially work if and when you want to. No one is really my boss.

Oh boy…do I ever have a lot to learn. At 35 I hope it’s not too late.

I am not interested any more because I am well past 21. Wish I was 15, then would been really exited.

Well, I’m well past 21, but figure the point here is to get to wealth fast. We’ll see…

It’s not really about being 21, but basically being young and making money online.
Even if your not young, it’s worth a read.

The early we start earning the early we retire OR we should get earning issue in our mind at early age.
I dont want to retire at 21(now!). I love to earn even on last day of my life. According to me retirement will only comes when you retire from life.
Life without creativity is always dead.
