From government welfare to passive income! Yep, you read that right. You’re about to hear a refugee’s real life story to a self-funded retirement. And we probably don’t need to tell you that this financial transformation is off-the-charts incredible…
Meet Toui “pronounced Twee”. A first-generation refugee who came to Australia in 1980 for a better life. And he is now talking to us from an EXTREMELY DIFFERENT financial position than when he and his family first arrived from Laos all those decades ago!
Fast forward to today, and Toui and his own family – his wife Jen and their 3 kids – are now on track to a passive income of $140,000 a year! Yep. This story certainly takes “If it’s meant to be, it’s up to me!” to a whole new level.
And, get this, there’s EVEN MORE to this financial transformation… (so many layers of awesomeness going on!)…
Case in point: Have you heard of something called “Microsoft Money?”
Well, let’s just say Toui’s got a bit to share with you there too…
Look, folks… while our new Winter Series has set a seriously high benchmark (how good have the listener transformations been?!), we just might’ve saved the best for last!!
Please listen.
