Our Rich Journey

Today is National Decision Day… and we’re proud to share that Melea has officially made her choice.

This moment didn’t just happen. It was built.

Built on discipline, consistency, and a real love for science and math. Melea has always been curious, always asking questions, always pushing herself to go deeper and understand more.

Her journey hasn’t been traditional. She’s gone to school in Japan, Spain, the United States… and now she’s graduating at the top of her class in Portugal. Different systems, different environments, different challenges… and she showed up and performed every time.

And the results speak for themselves… scoring in the top 1% on the SAT with a score above 1500!

That takes resilience. That takes focus. That takes drive.

We’re proud of the results, but even more proud of the young woman she’s becoming and the way she approached this entire journey with intention.

She had some incredible options in front of her… and she made a decision she’s genuinely excited about.

We know where she’s headed… but we’re going to keep that to ourselves for now 👀

You’ll see her on campus in August… shhhh 😊

This is just the beginning.

youtube.com/shorts/9LcloVX05NM When you hear the word “budget,” do you immediately think restriction? No coffee. No fun. No life.

Here’s the truth: budgeting isn’t about cutting everything out. It’s about creating a plan for your money so you can invest, enjoy experiences, and still fund your future.

Budget with purpose, not pressure. That’s how you buy freedom. youtube.com/shorts/9LcloVX05NM

Our Rich Journey

Dropping our oldest off at college 🥹❤️. One of the happiest and hardest days of our lives. It’s been less than 48 hours, and we still can’t believe it. No one really tells you about this part of raising kids—watching them spread their wings 🥹😌. We’re so grateful to have been there for our daughter every step of the way. She’s ready to take on the world and reach levels we once only dreamed of.

Our Rich Journey

This month marks six years since we packed up our lives in America and moved to Portugal—and what a journey it’s been.

We started just like many people moving here do… renting our first place while figuring out life in a new country. But one step led to another:
• We bought our primary home
• Then an investment property
• Then another… and another.

Four homes later, we’ve built a real estate portfolio that now covers all of our living expenses in Portugal. That means we’re truly living the dream just on our real estate portfolio —financial independence and early retirement!

Sometimes, you have to leave America to truly find opportunity and growth. For us, that meant discovering a better quality of life and much better investment opportunities than we ever had back in the States.

If you’ve been dreaming about making the move, know this: it’s not just a vacation fantasy. With the right plan, patience, and persistence, it’s absolutely possible to build the life you want abroad.

Here’s to living boldly, and here’s to Portugal 🇵🇹❤️
