Money Box Live: How To Retire Young

Could you save enough of your income and budget so tightly that you can afford to retire in your thirties or forties?

And do you have to be on a massive salary to make it a reality? With interest rates at historic lows, where can you invest for a decent return? What happens if you're a low-income earner? And what sacrifices must you make to achieve retirement before you reach fifty? Louise Cooper will be joined by Barney Whiter, one of the UK's biggest ‘FIRE’ bloggers and Claer Barrett, Editor of FT Money Contact the Money Box team to tell your stories and ask questions.
