    We went from struggling to early retirement. We often get the question about how we were able to retire in our 40's and today we will share our story. It is not like most, we had very little investment and we had very little money to start but we made it work. We also share how we leveraged starting a UA-cam Channel to get things going.

      Not a great April but if you step back and actually look you will see the S&P 500 was up for the first Quarter. In the last 30 days, my IRA saw a gain of $70k. You might consider financial advisory if you're experiencing significant drop.

      Right, a lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their emotions, no offense. During the covid-outbreak, I needed a good boost to stay afloat, hence researched for advisors and thankfully came across one with grit. As of today, my cash reserve has yielded from $350k to nearly $1m.

    We sold our house for $550,000 after 10 years having paid $240,000 took the equity and moved to a cheaper town, paid $190,000 for a duplex, rented the basement and bought a rental house next door. We now live off the rental income and retired. The new houses have doubled in price after 8 years. We can easily live on less now we don't have to dress to work or commute, buy lunches etc no car payments, make food from scratch. The tenants are paying for the houses plus our living expenses, with no mortgage payments or debt we are richer than when we worked !!

    Wonderful video. I lost my house to bankruptcy in 08 and moved into a little apartment and I was so happy in that apartment and then nine months later the apartment owner told me that they were selling the building. So I cobbled together the little bit of money I had to buy a tiny house barge. Not long after that it started to take on water seriously enough to haul it out. I fixed it up paycheck to paycheck while staying with some friends and ended up selling it. By the way, it was featured in Macklemore‘s video next year. Anyhow, I pulled myself out of the Mire, and lived very slim and continued to save and now I have a house in Mexico. Glad to know you.

    1. Pick the right partner in align with your goals.
    2. Dont have any children. Wont make it impossible but will significantly delay for about 20 years.
    3. Live below your means and track every purchase on a zero dollar budget.
    4. Have 3-6 months of emergency fund.
    5. Stay out of all conumer debt. No credit cards, (i dont play the chasing points game) no car payments, no loans.
    6. Buy a house that you need not want. A house that is below your budget. Remodel over time instead of buying move in ready above your budget. Always buy a home below your means.
    8. Pay off that house early before retirement. We paid ours off in 10 years instead of 30.
    9. Invest heavily (close to maxing out) into at least one 401k/roth ira for a minimum 10-15 years while working.
    10. Have multiple streams of income when you do retire.

    • @KevinNordstrom
      @KevinNordstrom 2 місяці тому +3

      I had kids so it slowed things down, but I've accomplished everything else on my list by age 40. I'm retired now living off YT earnings, military pension, and part time work online on my own terms. Wife works to keep healthcare for the kids. I quit my job of 16 years last year to be home with my teenage kids as I worked graveyard for most of their life and I have no regrets. Wife will quit in about 5 more years when the kids move out. Other than I can not tap into my 401k for another 19 years lol but by then it will be massive from compound interest and cannot collect social security for another 22 years lol. They will both be extra icing on the cake at that point.
      But life is good. No debt. Paid off house. Money in the bank. Taking multiple small vacations every year. Enough in 401k to keep the lights on in my senior years. Time with family all by age 40. Wife and I will travel more and have our house be our home base when the kids move out. My Only regret is wasting my entire 20s on stupid shit and listening to my broke friends and broke family and not being serious about finances.

    • @BellaJoyeuse
      @BellaJoyeuse Місяць тому +3

      Everything looks great but not number 2: one they said they have 2 kids and secondly family is far more important than more money. But its a good idea to learn to add AND to your vocabulary. You can have money and children. If I didn't have kids, I wouldn't have felt so happy and I wouldn't have been as motivated to be selfI-employed and make way more money than otherwise (and yes that's even after the "cost of my children"). Having children has increased my income and lifestyle significantly. Because of them I live a dream life in Florida and the Carribean at just 40- and I home educate my kids. Also, my husband passed away without life insurance (big mistake but he was young and his passing was very sudden)- but yet because of my kids, I've gotten myself to this dream lifestyle, homeschool and work part-time hours. Without them- I'd be like everyone else running in a hamster wheel. I thank God for my children!!!!

      Very good point. I think it's mainly seen as "passive" since there is a delay from making content to getting paid, and it can somewhat keep going if you stop. However, it never was passive and it's categorized tax wise as ordinary income. I suppose since you don't have to go into an office, you feel "retired"?

    I get what you're doing but I really struggle to call what you're doing retired. You really ARE still working it's just irregular work supplemented by passive income and made possible by moving to a low cost of living country. For example, I follow a number of UA-cam sail boaters that are doing something similar to you and none of them consider themselves retired. They just started on a shoestring, gathered a UA-cam following, developed some "merch", get sponsors, and create Patreon content. All of those smaller revenue streams combine to allow them to keep going and by some measures do quite well. My definition of being retired is living off income from non-work generated sources. All that said, I applaud you for finding a way to live a "retired like" lifestyle while you're still young enough to do all the things you want to do. Cheers!

      I agree with you, this is fully digital nomad, not retired and living on passive income. I'm personally trying to work towards fire with stocks and index funds but it's probably another 10 years before I get there. They did make me think hard about keeping the house though. It costs alot of money right now to live in a HCOL area and being an expat would def speed up the fire but I'm not much of a traveler

      Keep at it with the stocks. It will be a more secure form of income and with patience, grows considerably
      And all these ‘retired’ UA-camrs make companies like GOOGLE more profitable
      Buy the S&P 500 and set and forget. Surely BUFFETT can’t be wrong?😊

    ❤ I have never heard of you before. But it showed up in my feed and the title was curious. I so appreciate your transparency and humility and vulnerability. No hype no gregarious script just simple honesty from real people. You are both so relatable and I’m looking forward to checking out your other videos. I love to travel and would love to do more of it when I can get my financial situation back in order. I have been wanting to start a UA-cam channel for years and just hasn’t been able to step into it. This was encouraging more than encouraging. And I will check out your link on your Tips to creating a UA-cam channel. Thank you again.! God bless you both. You are living the life that I would very much like to have.

    UA-cam is in my business as usual and decided to show me y’all’s Retire To A Hotel video. Then I made my way here. I have only ever commented once on UA-cam. This time subscribing and giving a thumbs-up didn’t feel like enough. OMG! I love this for y’all and for ME! Thanks for sharing. You’ve helped me streamline some decisions. Also, I love how chill y’all seem. Keep thriving!

    I am a single lady in late 40s and I planning to make the switch in the next 4 years.
    I have done grinding for 24 yrs now.
    I think if I have had a who is as supportive would have done it next year.
    But since single I have to plan carefully.
    Thanks for the sharing and you 2 guys who are so inspiring.
