The \u201cwe went from nothing to millions\u201d stories can make it feel like you\u2019re behind, when in reality, a lot of those results were shaped by timing, market conditions, and decisions that can\u2019t be duplicated today. Colin and I walk through our actual financial path, from student loan debt and modest incomes to buying and selling homes, paying off debt, and building equity in ways we never could have predicted. I share what worked, what I would do differently, and why I\u2019m much more cautious about short-term rentals in today\u2019s market, with more focus now on long-term strategy, boutique hotels, and micro-resorts. We also talk through our upcoming camper life decision and what that really looks like financially. This is all about intentional choices, clear boundaries, and understanding risk. If you\u2019ve ever questioned your progress or felt behind because of what you see online, this episode is meant to bring perspective, not pressure.
