It was in 2025 when everything came into focus.
After fifteen relentless years of work—with just two or three – one week of vacation squished in between—I found myself burned out, exhausted, and stuck in the daily grind. As a father, husband, and provider, I felt the weight of responsibility pulling me deeper into the American rat race. I was longing for something more—something freeing, meaningful, and worth waking up for.
So in August 2025, I made a decision: enough was enough.
I started looking very seriously at retiring early. I started looking at finances and laid out a plan on how to make my dream come true. I launched a YouTube channel to help others like me—people planning for retirement and searching for a life beyond the routine. I chose to build my next chapter in Southeast Asia, where freedom, affordability, and adventure come together.
Come explore the world with me.
If you’re ready to reimagine retirement, gain financial clarity, and design a life of travel and purpose—you’re in the right place. You’ve arrived.
