I wish in life I could have retired often, but my mortgage and bills needed to get paid. I didn’t have that luxury in life.

I get that not everyone can do it, but we’ve done it and have had folks who make double or triple what we do say they can’t do it. I think a lot of it has to do with the lifestyle that many of us think we’re supposed to be living to please others or we ourselves get distracted with 🤷🏻‍♂️ I know someone who makes about $40k a year and they travel internationally about 2-3 times a year and are able to because they built a lifestyle that focuses on what they love.
