Our Rich Journey
Welcome to Our Rich Journey!
If you’ve been following our story, you know that our family of four reached FIRE (financial independence retire early) in August 2019. That’s right - at the age of 39, we retired early and moved to Lisbon, Portugal!
When we started pursuing FIRE, the movement was relatively small and not many people knew about it. But through our Channel, we’re hoping more people learn about FIRE! In our videos we share ways to make money, save money, and invest money - to inspire you to pursue financial independence.
Our goal is to share our experiences with you, so that you can learn from them and so that you can also successfully pursue financial independence. We’ve created quite the community of Our Rich Journey FIRE starters. So, what are you waiting for? Join the journey and start that FIRE!
