Dan left the Air Force at 33 and let 6 rental properties pay every bill, including about 2 years of slow travel. This episode covers what a spreadsheet leaves out, from tenants who pay on their own schedule to the 3 months it took for the stress to wear off. The harder question turned out to be what to do with his days once work was optional. He closes with what carries over if you're 55 with bigger bills and no interest in becoming a landlord.
- Why income that shows up every month made leaving possible when a savings balance wouldn't have
- How $4,000 a month from 6 rentals compares to $1.2 million under the 4% rule
- Why the same health plan costs almost twice as much at 55 as at 33
