  • Started his own company and grew it to $5 million in revenue in four years
  • Used his success in business to invest in rental properties and live a lavish lifestyle
  • Lost everything during the 2008 global financial crisis and had to declare bankruptcy
  • Found FIRE and drastically reduced his expenses and started saving for the long term
  • Rebuilt a smaller business and started investing in short-term rental properties in Mexico
  • Utilized geographic arbitrage to lower his expenses even further
  • Hit FI 8 years after declaring bankruptcy and became a millionaire 2 years after FI
