Review

"I just finished the book tonight, and by the last page I was so moved and inspired that I was in tears. It is by far the most useful and inspirational e-book I've ever read, and it included the perfect message for where I'm at in my life right now." ~ Beth

"Don't buy this guide because I told you to...although that isn't such a bad reason, I want you to buy this so that you don't waste another year doing something you hate and living a life that you weren't meant to live." ~ Paz

Product Description

Whether your dream is to start a business, travel around the world, or buy a house you are going to need to save some serious money. Here is the simplest, most effective way to amass the cash to live your dream (without selling body parts, living like a hermit, or existing on ramen noodles).

It is not a get-rich-quick scheme or a fad. It's simply a more focused way to think about money and how it can be used to fund your dream life. If you aren't living your dream life, then you are in the same place as 90% of the people on the planet. 

This guide is the blueprint the authors themselves used to amass the cash they needed to change their lives. It is full of step-by-step, practical advice for people who want to make a serious change - to travel, start a business, go back to school, start a family - and need a chunk of cash to make it happen. The authors share their stories with a mix of humor, wit, and sass, talking about what worked (and even funnier, what did not). 

Get a copy for yourself and one for a friend you would like to help take the first step to living their dream life.

More About the Author

Betsy and Warren Talbot are world travelers, adventurers, and free spirits. They have the kind of resumes that will get them good corporate jobs if they want them, but they don't. Instead, they plan to continue traveling indefinitely, extending the trip they began in 2010 into a lifestyle of digital nomad-ism, working and writing just enough to pay the bills and keep on exploring.

This is a huge change from the chickens they used to be just 10 years ago, too timid to venture into an ethnic restaurant in their own city and married to the outdated version of the American Dream.

People listen to them because they walk the talk
* Publicly morphing from a lifestyle of excess to one of minimalism over 25 months
* Saving a 5-year travel budget in just two years without sacrificing fun
* Documenting all their travel spending at RTW Expenses to dispel the myth that long-term travel has to be expensive
* Giving up lucrative careers at 40 and writing extensively about letting go of old identities for the desire to live a more adventurous, creative life
* Chronicling the changes to their relationship, friendships, and physical selves since making the decision to sell everything and travel the world
* Examining their fears through mountain and jungle treks, an erupting volcano, a political coup, a Force-12 storm in the perilous Drake Passage, and numerous everyday challenges that come with long-term world travel

Love this book. I mean, who doesn't have a dream? Whether your dream is traveling around the world, like the Talbots, or doing good right in your own hometown, we all have dreams that we would LOVE to have come true. The Talbot's approach is: don't wait for fortune to fall into your lap; go out and get it! This is a no BS book from people who walk their talk. Highly recommended!
