Want to retire early in your 30s? Early retirement may be closer than you think. With smart money moves, intelligent investments, and the ability to save more than you spend, you could trade forty-hour work weeks for full days with your family. But, before you do, you’ll need to set yourself up with some killer cash flow, so your assets can pay for your lifestyle while you sit back and enjoy ultimate time freedom.

This is exactly what Jenny Bayless did over the past ten years. After college, Jenny was able to score a well-paying job but realized only a few months in that the “work for forty years, retire at sixty-five” plan wasn’t worth the grind. So, shestarted aggressively saving, doing whatever she could to get into her first property. From there, she stumbled upon the BRRRR strategy of real estate investing, allowing her to recycle her cash to buy more properties in far less time than it took to save up for a down payment.

In this episode, Jenny explains precisely how this method led her to financial freedom, what FIRE-chasers in 2023 can do to retire even earlier, and why EVERYONE should have a financial exit plan, no matter how much they love their work. Jenny’s repeatable system to financial freedom through real estate isn’t as complicated as you might think, and she gives three crucial tips that, when followed, will lead to FIRE even faster!
