Michael Quan is like any other average Joe. He is a father of two living in California who had a regular office job. But unlike most of us, he was able to retire in his 30s. It only took him a decade of saving and investing. Michael jumped into the job market with a $42,000 annual paycheck and eventually increased it to an average of $80,000 a year.
