Episode notes
Lifestyle Investing Defined
- Justin defines lifestyle investing as designing life around freedom, experiences, and purpose rather than material accumulation.
- He focuses on buying cash-flowing assets that produce more income than his living costs so he can 'buy back' time.
Mobile Home Parks Built Cash Flow
- Justin started in real estate, buying mobile home parks that replaced his wife's income and then covered lifestyle costs with further purchases.
- He reinvested surplus income so every dollar above living costs funded additional investments and accelerated wealth.
Delay Lifestyle Inflation
- Avoid upgrading lifestyle too quickly; delay big consumption while stacking surplus income to compound investments.
- Live on the same income for years and redeploy marginal increases into new cash-flowing assets.
