Having an accountability partner who's goals are aligned with yours, and who "keeps you honest" can really be motivating. Plus it's exciting just to have someone who shares the passion of progress with you. Great video you two, keep it up! 😊

[@OurRichJourney]

Thank you! And I love how you pointed out the excitement of having an accountability partner to share the passion and progress with you! Such motivation!!!

Truly agree, it seems so difficult when all the people around don't understand this journey of growth leading towards financial freedom....

[@Gabistruwwelliese]

Love the channel. But wanted to say that it is lovely to see a couple who started together young and clearly have built a beautiful life together over the years as you two have.

[@TNGMikey]

I watch this video and i realize the relationships that they give examples of are not just helpful for financial freedom, but an overall positive investment in living a happy healthy life. Financial freedom deals with way more than just finances...its a complete lifestyle improvement

[@Kar1ocha]

Wish we could’ve found you 10 years ago. Me and my wife are each other mentors, motivators. After 4 kids-two teens still at home-student loan from the older ones, late 50’s we are on our way to debt free status. Next goal:Portugal! Thanks you both for the leads.

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

All very good points. I recently had an opportunity to talk a friend through her financial future and it felt great to inspire and nurture her. She is well on her way and I get to watch!

[@afriendabroad2083]

Slightly off topic but what do you use for Our Rich Journey's home and blog page? Is it WordPress and which template?

[@jayhay1237]

Great insights! Positive focus. As a critical thinker, might I (carefully) add that you can also learn a lot from bad examples. What not to do? Especially if you find yourself as a misfit. And if you already live in LCOL area, bad examples are abundant? For a period, my positive support came from people like you two who lived thousands of miles away through the miracle of the Internet.

[@OurRichJourney]

Jay - so true! We can learn from the bad mistakes people make, too!!!

[@linzzz519]

How do you going about finding people to fill these rolls? I end up with people who say stuff like, “Must be nice,” “Did you win the lottery or something,” “I’m jealous,” rather than people who are encouraging or supportive in the journey towards FIRE. I just don’t even know where to begin or how to approach someone.

[@heartfullydone]

I think I'm several of these things for other people (probably due to my profession as a KonMari Coach), but especially the mentor part is a bit tricky. I think you are mentors to me. And also some other people that already reached FIRE, and teach. The awesome thing is that I'm so on fire for FIRE that I automatically preach + teach it to people that are interested. Above all family members, and friends.

[@dianamurcia8438]

You guys are my inspiration, I just started my Financial independence journey and a KZbin channel. I use your budget and would like to mention it on my KZbin videos. Is that okay with you? I'm new and I've got research to do regarding mentioning other KZbinrs 💗🤗

Can you direct me to one of your videos that explains the importance of investing early on? I have a 22 year old nephew and 18 year old niece who I am helping. Thank you.

[@enzyme86]

Critical thinker definitely sounds like an INTP type according to MBTI. I wonder what your types are, at least you demonstrate the openness to listen to other people, which is a problem for quite a few people who will never fire. As an INTP myself, one of my students, who picked me as a mentor, once thanked me with the words 'You don't give kind words or empathy, I can get that everywhere. But you give solutions.' Needles to say that made my day.

[@OurRichJourney]

This isn't the first time someone has asked us about our types. It making me think we need to find out! Hehe! What would you guess our types are? :)

[@FinallyFulfilled]

I am a little bit behind in comparison to you guys (just turned 47). But at least I started investing. I hope to retire by 55. 🙏

How do you find a critical thinker? I feel that I'm the critical thinker for my friends but I can't find someone for me. It's like I'm always pushing and supporting my friends to be better and think things through, but I don't have a person like that in my own life

[@BucketListTravellers]

Great pearls of wisdom as always! We thought you might mention mentors, but we hadn't considered those other relationships. We like how you mentioned that the motivational relationship could be either positive or negative haha!

Thank you so much for the wonderful content You are my motivator from afar lol I wish I met you when I was growing up in Portugal Vila Franca de Xira. Living In Uk but really want to return to Portugal. I would leave and re- start if it was just up to me, my son cries constantly when I mention moving to Portugal. He loves it for holidays but not to live there. Do you think that 48 years old is still ok to start the fire journey?

[@berg8970]

I'm still patiently waiting for information on how you transfer money from the U.S to Portugal. While waiting on an answer I figured out how to do it without getting hit by exchange fees but it would still be nice to hear another opinion.
