Since taking a more hands-on approach, he started pouring additional contributions into his 403 on top of the 6.2% the college contributed to have an income separate from. He also started putting extra funds into a separate cash nest egg. Fisher also refinanced his home from a 30-year mortgage to a 15-year mortgage, and he then worked overtime to pay off his home and make upgrades to increase its value before retiring at 65.
