Here’s a look at three people who have made that dream a reality, and the financial strategies that helped them on their way to financial independence.

Quitting Jobs & Moving Abroad: How We Did It
source
so happy to see Roshida on here! love what you are doing with the ExoDus Summit!! You ROCK!!
Oh, yes I now remember seeing this video awhile ago.
I'm late to the FIRE party, but with what I've learned from Roshida and others, I'll be ready in five years, at the latest.
So fantastic to see us thrive! I love it! Great job Roshida and the Our Rich Journey family!
I don’t call that enjoyment if your getting by like a vagrant in a third world country
Retired in Hawaii
Stocks are unstable don’t count on stocks. They lose money better to have real estate
I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Car or that vacation in Paris just yet and that mindset helps me make more money invest: ng. For example last year I invested 70k in blue chip stocks and crypt0s (with the help of my advisor of course) and made about 380k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up close to a million. Delayed gratification always pays off
Sorry for coming with a different interference, can I get any enlightenment about crypto, in line with an expert that can assist me trade and generate a good profit
I love this series. In today's quit culture, it's so good for young people to know the level of intentionality involved in preparing to retire.
Exactly. Work hard, stop buying unnecessary stuff, save money, be frugal, who cares what other people and your friends think. I still dress like a homeless college student and looking forward to retirement at age 40. No debt, max cash flow, and spend reasonably. Or go buy the next Gucci slide as soon as you get a pay check, new flat screen every year, finance your fridge, max out credit cards, minimum down on cars and homes. It's anyone's choice while I sip an ice cold beverage by the beach.
Roshida has been an inspiration for so many black women. She showed us that we don't have to live a hard life.
Our Rich Journey doing amazing things 🙂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love Roshida and her willingness to show other black women like me the way. I am just so elated to see black women with OPTIONS and living our full lives all over the world 🌎 🙂 I need this for myself!
I love Roshida Dowe’s story! I started following her during the pandemic and she continues to inspire the choices I make for the future I want.
Roshida has inspired and shown so many women how they can travel and move to another country
Roshida is such an inspiration. She is changing and improving the lives of black women everywhere. Amon and Christina passionately share their FIRE knowledge and experience and are definitely #goals. Thanks @CNBC for telling their stories!
Shida is such an inspiration!
Roshida is such an inspiration to so many of us considering a move abroad. Bravo CNBC for including her .
I started following @Roshida Dowe & @Our Rich Journey during the pandemic and realized there is a way to live a different life, comfortably, that does require me to keep working forever! As a single woman with no minor dependents, Roshida's journey resonates with me. I attended Exodus Summit 2022 and gained the resources, guidance and community I needed to get me to where I want to be NOW, not years from now! 🙌🏾💰😎
Amon and Christina, I just start growing my dividend portfolio. I can't wait to retire in 10 years.
You guys and Ronald Read has inspired me. I'm so sad that I wish I started 10 years ago. I will never give up.
I attended Roshida’s Exodus Summit 2022 and learned a lot!!!
Roshida you are really helping to change so many lives!!$$ Thank You for sharing your story, your journey,and your life!!
I am moving to the new Nigeria 🇳🇬 and can not wait
I'm excited to see Roshida Dowe and Amon and Christina being featured! They've been such an inspiration in this move abroad journey.
I love Aman, Christina and Roshida. Their stories are so intriguing. It's because of them that my family has chosen to move abroad in the next 2 years.
So great to see @Roshida Dowe and @OurRichJourney. Great stories and great advice.
Now ask the locals from those countries how they feel about Americans moving abroad and making everything more expensive for them.
It's great to see these people share their experiences and encourage so many others to think about taking a similar path for themselves.
Go Rashida! GOOOO!! 🎉❤🙌🏽
So happy with my new life abroad. Less stressful.
Live Roshida and Amon and Christina! I have 3.4 years to retire and will get a full pension at the young age of 50! My hubby retired with his full pension at 55! Looking forward to to the next chapter of our lives!
Roshida has been such an inspiration. Because of her, I figured out I had the means to retire and took the leap. Thanks for sharing this information
Nearing the end of our planning stage and then we are gone…hopefully forever.
And they all moved abroad because they couldn’t afford to retire in the US.
I’ve enjoyed watching Roshida Dowe and Our Rich Journey for the past few years.
Two of my favorite channels. Our Rich Journey and Roshida Dowe!!!
I am happy to retire here in the US.
Love Roshida Dowe. An inspiring woman.
Thanks for sharing my story again! 💛
Lmao the American dream is to leave the America.
Amon and Christina from Our Rich Journey. Yay!👀😊
Roshida 🌺
Korea & Japan have it worse compared to the U.S.
Most Americans will need to move overseas now to retire. Inflation is devastating to retirees.
It seems those couples didn't have kids and that must be the real secret
I just want someone with the same mindset as me and we are retired like this. Smh.
Sheesh Guillermo is old Corps. Badass!
To anyone who needs to hear this!! Investing rightly today can save you a whole lot of stress in the nearest future
I need to see if these things are possible with a family to take care of and making less than $100k a year. Everyone always has high paying jobs with no kids. Makes FIRE so much easier.
Ugh! CNBC Make It keeps pushing a particular narrative…
…and we co-sign it wholesale lol.
Think global, folks!!
Let's toast to our dreams.
