This man became financially independent at 36 and says the key to happiness is ‘owning your own time’
The 39-year-old landlord, who was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, reached $1 million Canadian dollars, or approximately US$791,000, in 2019, though he felt he had reached financial independence even sooner. The former network administrator and his partner, Catherine, who is a Ph.D. student and research coordinator, save between 50% and 80% of their income every year and live off of $27,000 in annual expenses. With his financial independence, they’re able to travel with their dog, Pepper, but he still works as an IT consultant while managing the rental properties and other side hustles.

Most powerful man you've never heard of: Meet the boat-dwelling, gun-toting Democrat with the future of America in his hands
The fate of Joe Biden’s massive spending plans, and the future of America, may be decided on an innocuous looking houseboat several miles away from the US Capitol. It belongs to Joe Manchin, the Democrat senator from West Virginia, who has emerged as the key vote needed to secure the passage through Congress of Mr Biden's multi-trillion dollar proposals. The Senate is divided 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans, with Vice President Kamala Harris holding a casting vote. Republicans are unified in their opposition. So it all hangs on Mr Manchin, the most conservative Democrat senator. He is now widely referred to as "the second most powerful 'Joe' in Washington". Mr Manchin is known for his fiscal prudence, and he is having serious doubts. After hearing Mr Biden's speech to Congress on Wednesday, during which he took copious notes, he said: "It’s a lot of money. A LOT of money. That makes you very uncomfortable." Mr Manchin is an outlier in the Democratic Party, and in Washington. He dislikes the capital city so much that in his decade there he has refused to buy or rent a home.
