Cindy Jo’s Hair Salon is concerned about their rising costs of supplies, energy, and labor, so they are considering investing in better equipment, which hopefully will reduce the time required to perform most hair styles as well as resulting in better perceived quality by their customers. They predict that the added investment will increase output levels as well as reduce energy costs, since some of the new equipment (hair dryers) use less electricity.

Make me a millionaire. Assume that you are a financial advisor. I have come to you because I want to develop a plan for retiring early.

I am currently 24 years old and I want to retire by age 55. That gives me 31 years to build wealth. I have just graduated from college and obtained my first job as an urban planner with a local city, earning $32,000 per year. People in this field usually top out at about $60,000 after 10-15 years. I have student loans totaling $43,000 at 5% interest, and a credit card balance of $3,600 at 24% interest. The city I work for has a 401K retirement program which allows me to invest part of my paycheck each month, pre-tax. I own an older car outright, and it runs okay for now. I just signed a one year lease on a modest apartment. I am not married yet. I have practically no savings.

Write me a brief plan for achieving my goal of early retirement. Write no more than one page in a Word document. When complete, submit through the dropbox titled "Financial Plan."

Your plan must address the issues of:

1. living below your means (frugality)
2. avoiding (and paying off) credit card debt
3. buying a house (that is easily affordable)
4. saving at least 10% (or more) of my income and investing in mutual funds
