Cubicle Jail Break: My Journey Toward Passive Income & International Nomadism7 min read

For anyone who wants to take the path less traveled, to reach financial independence and quit their day job at a youngish age, be prepared for the unexpected.

Of course, you don’t have to make all the mistakes I’ve made. Please, please don’t – whatever strategy you choose to build your passive income, get coaching and help from someone who knows that niche. If dividend stocks are your thing, find dividend income experts and learn every tip and trick you can from them.

I am an entrepreneur in my heart, so I love rental investing, and I love teaching it to others. But the world is full of opportunities for you to create passive income, beyond rental properties or dividend-paying stocks.

If you haven’t yet fallen in love with the dream of financial independence, let me pose a simple question to you.

What would you do with your life, if time and money were no longer constraints?

Because those are the stakes. That’s the reward, once you reach FI. A life that no longer requires you to work a full-time job to pay your bills and pursue your passions.

It’s a beautiful dream. And even though pursuing it has cost me greatly in my life, I don’t regret a moment of the struggle. That struggle has taught me far more than all the happy, cocky, carefree moments of my life combined.
