It took only 4 years of dedicated investing and financial planning to get to my target retirement passive income amount (modest as the target was, but I did start with only a small amount of savings to work off). This is my story of how a decade or so of living simply within my means (generally leading a minimalistic needs-based life) and 4 years of actual action allowed me & my husband to retire a year ago at age 38 and move to Bali to live the best versions of our lives whilst we are still young, active and healthy to enjoy all the activities we truly love.

Timeline: I'd quit my Big Law corporate job before i turned 30. It took me about 4 or so years of wandering around Asia to build up a new set of livelihood skills, learn about different ways of life and philosophies and to crystallize that my own life goal was not the pursuit of wealth per se, but the pursuit of a simple but comfortable life built around activities that was meaningful to me. From that point, the goal of reaching a state where i could comfortably live & do what i wanted in a place i loved, Bali, without having to work a 9-5 or run a business was born. 4 years of dedicated planning and investment action later, we actually actualised our dream and we've been happily living in Bali ever since.

Sharing our story and the 5 money concepts that sped up our journey to FIRE here in the hopes that if your own life goals are similar, then know that it's possible and it could potentially happen in just a number of years.

We all deserve to have a chance at living our best life whilst we're here!
