Lesson 1.7: Douglas's Story - Financial Freedom at age 42

You may have read this on my newsletter, but this episode is my story of how I reached financial freedom at age 42 in 2014. The average American works 90,000 hours in their lifetime. I worked 30,000. In my 20 years of working, I only averaged $36k a year. But if you only spend $25k a year, the math works out: How I retired at age 42 only making $36k a year. So I generally believe that financial freedom is possible for any American making a middle-class income. I started teaching Financial Freedom in 2016 and have taught around one thousand students. Whether you want to sprint to FF or do "Coast FI", I believe that getting a hold of your finances is key to living the life you want.
