Retire Early Lifestyle is a content based website that appeals to a different kind of person - the person who prizes their independence, values their time, and who doesn't want to mindlessly follow the crowd.


Months ago, read your interview in Business Insider: Medical Tourism. Read it. Snoozed it. (It comes back to Inbox for another read. I snooze only important ones.) Snoozed it. Snoozed it. Googled your names. Found your YouTube interview. Poor quality video. Unpolished compared to performative perfection you find on Instagram or Facebook. Went down the rabbit hole to find your DIY, early WWW style HTML website... and that's when I knew I found real people. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and your stories. Your website is a goldmine of great stories. I especially love the Street Beggars. Jimiyo

Real Investment Report

Seasonality, positioning, and trend still lean in favor of the bulls. December is historically one of the stronger months for equities, particularly when the market is already up by double digits year-to-date. Expectations for a December Fed rate cut, and a gradual cooling of inflation, support the “soft-landing” narrative, while corporate buybacks and under-invested managers create fuel for a “chase into year-end” if resistance gives way.

As tequila-making is often a family business affair passed down through generations, we were not surprised that La Altena, a distillery just outside of Arandas, was run by Felipe Camarena's brother and sisters.
