Slay the Stock Market® Early Retirement Playbook

You're tired of imagining another 30 years at a desk job. You scroll past stories of people retiring early, moving abroad, spending uninterrupted hours on their hobbies—and you wonder if it's actually possible for someone like you. It is. But not through get-rich-quick schemes or risky day trading. Through strategic, boring, proven investing that compounds while you sleep. This playbook walks you through the exact framework I used to go from investing $125/month at 28 to being on track to retire by 45—with enough passive income to cover both me and my mom for life. You'll learn how to calculate your own Family FIRE number (hint: it's probably not $2.5 million), how to structure index fund investments that grow without constant babysitting, and how passive income can unlock visas and geographic freedom years before you even "retire." This isn't theory. I'm a Forbes Contributor, CNN podcast host, and investing coach who's taught 7,800+ students. I've lived this path—from clueless 401(k) contributions in 2011 to qualifying for a D7 visa to Portugal using investment income alone. I don't sell advice; I teach award-winning education rooted in real numbers, real timelines, and real life design. If you're ready to stop dreaming of labor and start building a life where financial security makes time feel short in the best way possible, this playbook is your starting line.
