A young mum anticipates being able to retire by the time she's 35 after building up an extraordinary investment portfolio worth $2million.
Michelle Ives, 29, from NSW's Central Coast, is planning to retire within the next six years and live off between $70,000 to $100,000 a year with her husband Andy and one-year-old son with the money they've made from investing.
The devoted mother and her husband invest up to 80 per cent of their earnings each month into property, shares and stocks, making superannuation contributions and investing in bonds and commodities.
Ms Ives claims her family only buys things that bring them joy and avoid mindless splurging on shopping, eating out, beauty treatments and high-tech gadgets.
