About this ebook
I'm Jason Buckley and along with my wife Julie we have re-designed our lives to enable us to stop the daily 9 to 5 of our corporate jobs, and to instead have the choice to do something else. We have chosen to travel, and now spend several months a year away from home seeing the world. This mini guide tells the story of how we changed our lives to give ourselves freedom to travel. Its purpose is to help others who are thinking about making a similar lifestyle change.
Jason Buckley
Julie and Jason Buckley escaped the rat race. They live in a travelling tin box called Dave with Charlie; their pampered pooch. When their savings run out they'll have to go back to reality and get proper jobs.

Before We Start
You’re reading the second edition of this ‘mini guide’. The original version was published around a year after we retired, both aged 43. This version has been published as we enter our fourth year of financial freedom. The reason for updating it is simple: this is a living experiment, and we’re learning more and more about how well it works for us with each passing day. We wanted to pass these lessons on to you.
Our Mini-Guide
This mini-guide aims to tell the story of how I, Jason Buckley, and my wife Julie re-designed our lives to enable us to stop the daily 9 to 5 of our corporate jobs, and to instead have the choice to do something else. Its purpose is to help others who are thinking about making a similar lifestyle change.
By describing it as a 'mini-guide', I hope you'll understand it doesn't make any attempt to be anything like a complete 'how to' guide to financial freedom, minimalism, investing or any of the other topics it touches upon. Instead it simply covers the approach we took, haphazard as it was, and provides references to more in-depth and authoritative books and blogs that we have used.
Neither Julie nor I are qualified in any way as financial advisers, so the best advice either of us can give is:
believe in yourself
financially educate yourself
stay focussed on your dream
and finally take action: work hard, and invest
Getting to the point of early Financial Freedom is hard, it took us years, but it isn't impossible. I also hope that by
