After reading an article on Yahoo! about 4 people who retired before the age of 40, I thought I wanted the same! They are young, they spend time doing what they want, when they feel like it, they’re not millionaires and yet they are not obliged to wake up every morning, work their butt off to pay debts that accumulate anyway!

What these 4 people who were interviewed had in common was that they all wrote a book about “being your own boss” and “retiring young“, how those things are attainable. And like I said previously they are not millionaires but they had a project that allowed them to sustain a lifestyle without working.

One of them was investing in real estate while another was in stock trading and eforex. See the point is to create a residual income, whether it’s interests, rents, bonus, commissions, etc. That’s why working for yourself allow you to achieve this freedom and live this lifestyle!

I’m 29, no job, overwhelmed by debts and collection agencies’ calls, trying hard to make it in the internet marketing world. I started with a little extra cash and want that extra cash to become more than just “extra”! That’s why I created this blog and website.

While many of you have already read the many benefits of working from home:

• Wake up and go to work when you want;
• No commute time from home to workplace;
• No expense for clothing
• Spend more time with family and friends
• Being in control of your time and finances
• Freedom

There is one HUGE benefit of owning an online business as opposed to a business that you operate offline: YOU CAN RUN IT FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD AS LONG AS YOU HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION!

So I’ve decided to start a journey of traveling and finance myself through my online income. I will save on rent and  utilities bills. All I need is my laptop and some changing clothes.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not running away from my financial responsibilities. I just want to enjoy life, not be stressed at work and live to pay bills. I will take care of the matter when I am capable of.

I live in the capital city of Canada that is Ottawa. To keep my citizenship, I must not leave the country for over a period of 6 months. Therefore I was thinking of going to Toronto and from there head to New York.

And there are ways to travel for free. That will be a subject of another blog entry. For now let’s start with a destination point!

So what do you think? Feel free to post comments and suggestions!
