5 Things You Can
Do Right Now to Gain Control over Your Future
Billy
and Akaisha Kaderli
No matter what
goes on in the news, Washington or the world, to
build a stable tomorrow, we must take control of our
own lives. Even with all the current upheaval, here
are five things you can do today to empower
yourself.
Chacala Malecon and Harbor Chacala, Nayarit, Mexico
Billy and Akaisha Kaderli
Many beach towns
in Mexico have a malecon. This is a walking area
alongside the ocean where, in our experience, people
meander, walk their dogs, or do a morning jog.
Sometimes there are sitting areas or wrought iron
benches surrounded by bronze sculptures, flowering
plants, and trimmed palms. And other times there are
shops, park amenities like skateboard areas, and
exercise equipment.
Billy and Akaisha's Three Lessons on Retirement
Billy and Akaisha Kaderli
Retirement is a
great achievement, but it's not static. It's not
like once you arrive you can forget about it and put
it on auto-pilot. It's an interactive manner of
living that continues to respond to our input, the
new skills we learn and how our goals modify.
Hopefully we continue to grow and change, making our
retirement sustainable and sweeter to live.

Chepe train ride through the Copper Canyon, we make
a stop at El Fuerte, the birthplace of the legendary

Claim Your Freedom Every Day!
Billy and Akaisha
Kaderli
Billy and I have
been traveling the globe for almost three decades.
Within those international trips we have noticed
that humans intrinsically desire to be free. For the
most part you and I enjoy our freedoms. We have
control over our finances, we can drive a car
whenever we choose to do so, and if you are reading
this, chances are you have a background of education
and experience from having lived your life.
Divisidero,
Copper Canyon - Chihuahua, Mexico
Billy and Akaisha Kaderli
We spent the
night in Creel at a very clean hotel with great
beds. After a good night's sleep we were up before
sunrise and ready to take a bus to the town of
Divisidero in the Copper Canyon.

Fuerte - The Best One Yet!
Dramatic scenery, wide
vistas, sheer rock formations jutting
straight up from the earth. Watch this "last
leg" of the El Chepe journey from Creel to
El Fuerte, the birthplace of ZORRO! This is
the best video yet!
Early Retirement as a Lifestyle
Billy and Akaisha
Kaderli
You can retire early to
spend free time as you want; travel, study and
learn, play sports, pursue a hobby… We did! In 1991,
at the age of 38, we left our fast track lives,
packed it up, sold everything, and moved to Nevis, a
36 sq. mile island in the Caribbean. From there we
started traveling and haven’t looked back. Are we
living the life YOU want right now? Is this idea
appealing? Where to start?
FIRE Financial Independence, Retire, Early
Billy and
Akaisha Kaderli
Here we are, well
into our 29th year of financial independence, and
according to the pundits it wasn’t suppose to be
this way. We were supposed to run out of money, the
4% rule doesn’t work, and we would be bored. Yet,
we’re still going strong. What do we know that they
don’t?
El Chepe Stops in Creel, Mexico in the Sierra
Tarahumara of the Copper Canyon
Billy and Akaisha
Kaderli
We're on the El Chepe
train, riding from the City of Chihuahua towards Los
Mochis. Our first stop is Creel. Founded in 1907 as
a railroad depot on the Chihuahua–Pacific line, one
hundred years later Creel has become a Pueblo Magico.
This is Mexico's version of a World Heritage site.
