Livin' de Island Life, Mon
The Adventurer’s Guide to Early Retirement, 5th Edition, A New Perspective NEW RELEASE!
I have just finished reading your book, and it is fantastic! Thanks so much for taking the time to write it and share your experiences and knowledge. I now have the most important and interesting book that I've ever owned (next to The Millionaire Next Door). I have a five year plan to retire to Thailand, and I can hardly wait to go.
You and Billy have helped me realize that I DO have enough money NOW to live my dream, and after making some changes, I can continue to enjoy my life! I have never enjoyed reading a book so much!!!
Thanks again and thanks for sharing your life with all of us!

Personal Capital - Living the Village Life
While we have seen the large cities, the amazing architecture, eaten in some of the finest restaurants and enjoyed museums, plays, and concerts, generally, we are attracted to Village Life. Enjoy our story here
Living Our lives at Our Chosen Pace - Always Dreaming
Hiking up to the that lookout or riding the biggest wave in the set is no longer the thrill it once was. However, we still get juiced up looking at maps of interesting destinations and cultures, even if we have traveled there before. Learn more here.
Real Investment Report
Market Update – Markets kicked off the second half of 2025 with a strong finish to Q2, propelled by easing geopolitical fears, falling oil prices, and a reaffirmation of the Fed’s dovish tone. Read his report, click here.
Financial freedom isn’t about never working again. It’s about never working out of fear again. You can still build, create, lead, contribute. But from a place of joy, not survival.

From our Readers
Dear Billy and Akaisha
Thank you very much for your encouragement via your regular emails. I retired last week in the UK at 57 YOA and must say I am enjoying the sense of being at peace after 37 years of working. I am shortly going to be moving closer to my brother and his family having exchanged on the sale of my current home and purchase of another home yesterday. I do not miss that Sunday evening dread of having to return to another week of working!!.
Regards
