Hi, I'm Jim - I'm just a regular guy who figured out the path to financial freedom and early retirement for myself and my family.

I retired from my corporate job at the end of 2018 at the age of 43. We then moved to the country of Panama in the summer of 2019 for a new adventure where we lived until 2022. Yup, you heard that right... the country of Panama!

We're back in the U.S. now and, after traveling the country in an RV for 8 months, we sold the RV, found a new place to live, and continue traveling often.

I'm hoping you'll join me on our journey as I talk about what I've learned so far and as we figure out ways to optimize our strategy. I like to talk a lot of about travel as well, including sharing tips that I've found helpful. Plus, I'll throw in some thoughts about how I'm striving to become a better person (physically, mentally, and spiritually).
