Story Behind The Book
When wife and I retired early (at 45) and moved to an exotic country, we surprisingly met many who had done the same or who were in the middle of a lifelong goal.
Some had taken ten years out of their life to sail the world, others had gone on a continent or even worldwide hiking/biking/motorcycling trip, and although their trip stories were fantastic, I was particularly interested on how they could pull it off.
Surprisingly, many were in the same situation I was in - taking advantage of what we had to live our dreams. Others had found ways to live on little or next to nothing and were traveling the world on a $7 per day budget successfully, and more importantly, happily.
I thought, 'Hey, this would make a great book!' so I wrote it. Unlike many 'How to' financial success books out there, mine is primarily based on real experiences from regular Joes, just like me.
