Today, I have a great guest post from Janeen Blake of Love. Eat. Travel. Repeat on how she retired from corporate life at 42 and moved with her family to Portugal. Here’s Janeen’s story.
I graduated from law school with $230,000 in student loan debt and a job that I needed to be grateful for, but despised. Yes, you read that right. $230,000! 16 years later, however, I was able to retire from corporate life at 42 and move my family abroad to Portugal.
You are probably wondering how I dug myself out of that hole, and into early retirement. It was not fast, it was not easy, but all of the slow, consistent steps that I took are something that anyone can do to reach financial freedom before the traditional retirement age.
And I want to walk you through exactly how I did it, the investing foundation that made early retirement possible, the multi-six-figure Etsy side hustle that accelerated the timeline, and the mindset that kept me from blowing it all when things got hard.
This is not a get rich quick story. But, if you are willing to play the long game, it can be repeatable.
