What is 3 + 2?

You know you wanna share this!!

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 (currently traveling the country in an RV!) and 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.

If you're new to the site, be sure to check out my story.
