In Episode 29 I sat down in the beautiful Nicaraguan jungle home of Mark Highfill a 60 something retiree. His story intrigued me because at 50 years old he had no savings but on a surf trip to Mexico decided he wanted to retire asap.  He concocted a plan that would take him to Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait with the goal of making $200,000 so he could go back to Mexico and retire. Have a listen and hear how he made it happen by the age of 56 and how much he retired with. Enjoy!
