Billy and Akaisha were the ones who inspired us to work towards early retirement. Like them, we have a home base and live the 'Nomad' life about 6 months at a time, then take mini trips the rest of the year. We are approaching year 10 since retiring early in our 40s and thank them and this group for the inspiration and info. Interestingly, since Covid, we have met a large number of early retirees who consider themselves part of the 'FIRE Movement', traveling full time and relying on their YouTube Income to supplement equity they had from selling their homes and 401k. It will be interesting to see how they do long term as well!
Dang, I wouldn't want to have to rely on YouTube income. The bloggers got hit hard with some pretty massive traffic and income reduction over the past few years.
Grounded Life Retirement claims to pull in $15k-$20k per month from their YouTube channel.
In this video, he talks about how they probably wouldn't have bought economy plane seats if they knew they would have the YouTube income. They say they retired with $300k.
