We used to chase the American dream.. now we’re chasing the oceans.

Hello & Welcome!

Who we are:

You’ve found us- Jeffrey and Brianna on some small sliver of the internet and we’re so glad that you’re here! By ages 23 and 30, we were self-managing a real estate portfolio of almost $1 million dollars while working our full time corporate careers and chasing the “American dream”. We had the big house, nice cars and high income but still didn’t feel happy. When COVID-19 hit in early 2020, we sold off our rental properties, ditched the Jones’ and downsized into our smallest property in order to live a more fulfilling life. We became debt free and had the ability to do things we’ve always wanted to do on a regular basis.. like earning our private pilots licenses, scuba diving and traveling the world. There’s a common misconception that hobbies like these are unattainable unless you’re rich or retired and we’re living proof that they aren’t! In just a few years we were able to drastically change our standard of living by budgeting, saving and reducing our expenses.

Fast forward to 2024 and we have both retired early from our corporate jobs at 28 and 35. Now we are enjoying sharing the world with our daughter while living off of passive income from hard money lending in real estate.

What we like to talk about:

You’ll see a variety of topics on the blog including personal finances, traveling and the journey to creating a fulfilling life. Our favorite thing to talk about is money and our favorite way to spend it is on traveling and investing. Our goal with this blog is to inspire you to live a life free of debt so you can experience the joys of financial freedom and take your life back.
