Joined the Navy at 18 with 7k in the bank. I did janitorial and smoked a lot of pot in high school. Left the Navy after months with 40k in the bank. Invested 30k in the S&P stocks. Started working at UPS, Exide Battery and did concrete on Saturdays. Invested 1k a month every month into it with my Financial advisor Susan Kay Mack, Cashed out 350k from the S&P Cashed out and Semi retired at 31. Took a year off. Traveled. Came home and started working part time just for the insurance, entertainment and pocket change and still investing in stocks with a 3 million net worth, Work isn't work when you don't have to work. Becoming wealthy can be done in few years. It feels like 60hr work weeks. Feel the pain of discipline early or feel the pain of regret later. I wish everyone well!

I really liked this episode! This family pursues a great goal - to spend time together with their children as much as possible. It took them some time and lots of effort but that was worth it. I personally reckon they’re a great example for all of us! I totally share their values. Work is not the thing people were created to give it all the time and energy. But the question is HOW to work less? It’s obvious that the less you spend the less you must work to make money. The fact is, an obsession with possessions distracts us from the very things that matter most in life-the things that money cannot buy. Children suffer when their parents don’t spend enough time with them. They don’t feel they are loved. That can even have long-term negative effects on their adult life. On the contrary, how much better it is when all family members just have meals together, have fun and communicate. Money cannot buy family happiness and unity. That only comes from spending time with your family and giving them adequate love and attention. I couldn’t agree more with this saying from the Bible: «Better to eat vegetables with people you love than to eat the finest meat where there is hate» - Proverbs 15:17. I find lots of practical advice from this wise timeless book. Where can you find how living by Bible standards can make you happy?

This is almost exactly what my parents did, who also retired in their 40s. The main difference is my folks bought, renovated and sold while we lived in those homes one at a time and they invested after their first sale.

I like how he says that they wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them working together. I am by myself and I constantly feel like I just need a companion to make it happen, what I do alone is okay but not full force because it is just a little too much to handle on my own.

You obviously earned it and I agree with other comments: it makes all the difference who you partner up with. Be happy. Your actions inspire me.

It also depends on where you live... With your income you might not be able to retire in the US, but you might be able to retire in Portugal or Spain, for example. We don't pay health insurance in Spain, or it's much much lower than in the US if you chose a private health insurance, also the cost of living is way way lower. I, as a student, spend 550-600€ a month (sharing an appartment, of course, but if you add 400€ to that you can have an apartment for yourself). College here is almost free if you compare it to the US, we only pay around 1000€ a year for tuition, and there are lots of grants so that you don't pay a dime if you don't have that much income (I have only paid for one year of college and I've been there for 5 years). So yeah, it depends on the country you live in. If you gave me 2000€ a month in Spain, I'd live like a king, and that's only 24k a year.

Kudos to you guys there aren’t many married couples with children making this happen on a regular salary. You guys rock. Congratulations on your success.

What an awesome video to learn even more about you two! You’re such powerful inspirations to myself and countless others. I’ve been listening to this power couple’s life changing info for a little over a year on KZbin and though I’ve been on a financial fitness journey for a while, their KZbin videos have taken my financial life to another level light years beyond what I could learn and achieve on my own. Though I’m a subscriber to several financial KZbin related channels, none compare to this couple. Their channel is the acme of KZbin financial channels bar none.
