Retiring Early While Traveling the World (56 Countries!)

Retiring early while traveling the world! For many people retiring early means working hard a their company for 20+ years without taking a break, vacation, or any down time. While this is possible, it may lead to extreme burnout, something that Dee Olateru, didn't have interest in.

Dee immigrated to the United States from Nigeria when she was sixteen. Without the ability to get student loans, Dee had to work throughout school, apply for every scholarship available, and borrow money from friends and family to pay for her undergrad degree.

But now she had a business degree, so clearly, she went on to get a full-time job in her field, right? Actually, she didn’t. Dee graduated during the great recession and had to take a $10/hour job at a local factory.

As Dee made more and more money, she started looking into finance blogs to see where she should be saving and investing. For the better part of a decade, Dee has been maxing out her Roth, 401(k), and investing in individual accounts, all while she travels around the world!
