Billy and Akaisha Kaderli feel like they have seen it all.
The couple retired in 1991 at the age of 38 after saving $500,000.
The former restaurateurs, now both 68, have watched as their money survived a series of booms and busts. After 30 years of retirement, their nest egg currently sits at $1 million.
The Kaderli’s initially invested their money in a mix of index funds with a plan on maintaining an inexpensive lifestyle while living off their returns.
