Retired at 27!

[Shelby Pracht]

My and my husband's goal was to be able to retire on our passive income by age 30. We just hit our goal, both of us at age 27! We are so excited and can't believe how our hard work paid off, and even more quickly than we imaged. 

We started just two years ago, buying our own residence which we house hack and live for free in (some months even cash flowing a couple hundred dollars). Next we bought a duplex with some storage units that cash flows $800-900/month and a single family home bringing in another $500-550/month.

I know we are definitely not flush with money by any means, but to have all of our living expenses paid for by our house hack, plus an additional 1300-1450/month for gas and fun money is plenty for us! Our goal at this point was not to build a huge real estate business, but to be able to do the things we love while we are young. So for us to have the ability to travel, ski, rock climb, and backpack whenever we want in our twenties still is a major win, I think :)

Our very last paycheck!
