<prompt> Human: I want to retire as early as I possibly can. I cant stress that enough. Im talking age 40-45. Currently, I am 24 and am employed full time by the federal government. I have about 15k in my TSP 401k contributing 15 of every paycheck biweekly with another 5 employer match. I have about another 15k in a personal investment portfolio. These things in addition to the standard federal pension FERS and social security. I am still renting my living space 650month, but hope to have a family and own a home in the future hopefully before retirement. My question is, how much money does someone like me need to have in order to completely retire at 40-45 and still live comfortably? Or is this so impossible from the start? Thanks for the advice!  <response>: You should check out rfinancialindependence.
