How We Retired Early With $2.2 Million To Travel The World

Dianne and Guillermo Rastelli retired at the ages 45 and 48 with $2.2 million and a plan to travel in search of their forever home. Dianne knew she had always wanted to retire before 50 and live in Colorado, but Guillermo, being Bolivian-American, told Dianne he was culturally raised with the idea that he should work as long and hard as he could to provide for his family. After a thoughtful presentation Dianne put together, Guillermo was convinced and even one-upped her idea and suggested they live in different countries around the world. Currently they live in Lisbon, Portugal and are vlogging to document their life and financial journey.

  1. Unfortunately for a vast majority of Portuguese people, 3500 USD a month expenses is impossible. I can also understand why they are renting in Lisbon, because their 150 thousand USD property In the US allows them to buy only the crappiest and smallest of apartments in Lisbon. That being said, they did the right thing. So many people in richer countries already have enough money to retire and don’t even realize that. Others realize that they will never retire… Portugal is one of those countries that in general doesn’t give the chance to save much money, as wages are too low and cost of living for Portuguese becomes high. Minimum wage is around 700 euros in 2022, that is before taxes. So there you have it….

  2. Who the heck is saying that you need 6 million to retire?! It's closer to 1.5 per person to generate enough passive wealth to live comfortably!

  3. I came here to learn how to trade after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460,000 in 4 months from $160k. Somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.

  4. After earning $1.7Million from trading, my life have totally changed. I can now afford anything I wish and want because am making profits every single week from trading investments!!! Mehhn life is good when you got the money pooping in…

  5. After researching the history of great assets such as real estate, dividend-paying stocks, gold, oil, and other commodities, Ive come to the conclusion that most excellent assets never come down to the price you want to acquire them at. Simply get the ones you can afford right now.

  6. Most times it amazes me greatly the way I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over 63k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities abound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.

  7. I understand the concept of financial freedom, but for many couples and families, it comes at a cost of having to move to a cheaper, foreign country and saying goodbye to their close family and friends and support network back in America. I don’t think I could do it. But props to the people that can.

  8. Excellent informative video! crypto world keeps fluctuating in prices perharps huge profits is been made by experts. Heard that holding ain’t a smart move on the short run please any ideal on how to make better profits in the market.

  9. There's a difference between choosing not to work anymore because you have a lump sum of money and really being retired. 2 million does not sound like enough to sustain the rest of your life unless you are great at investing.

  10. What if you never had a "good" job or had a tragedy that knocked out all your savings?? I'm happy for them that they were able to achieve their dreams. They also clearly have a GREAT partnership and love.

  11. Don’t wait until the market skyrocket again then you start biting your fingers wishing you made the decision to invest. bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals,

  12. Good video!! Very attractive from start to finish. However, the wisest thing that should be on every smart individuals list is to invest in different streams of income that are not dependent on the government to generate money, especially now business and investing is the easiest way to make money regardless of what party makes it to the oval office.

  13. a mega point here is that they had to move away from their home (and son!) to retire! I could never do that, I could never leave my country and town. That is a huge point to this story.

  14. just curious, i didnt watch the video, but was any part of this money inherited? thanks anybody who can provide the clarity appreciate you.
