Thank you Pippa, so kind of you to say. Sounds like you have the perfect balance there. Having the ability to choose when to call time is an amazing feeling.

Hi Ben, you can subscribe using the form in the sidebar of the website. I’m a bit slack at email but am trying very hard to send one a week. Thanks.

Congratulations on your semi-retirement! I love reading your comments in the Kiwi Mustachian group, you have such great advice.
We are planning to FIRE at some point, as technically we have reached our number. I already quit the rat race to work as a freelancer / blogger / homesteader. But my husband still has projects he’d like to finish at his work, and then possibly ease into FIRE by going part time first.
Looking forward to reading more about your travels.
Pippa

HI Mandy, all our properties are in the South Island of New Zealand. 3 in Christchurch, 2 in other small towns. Purchased between 2006 and 2020. I really have undervalued them to be honest.

These are the purchase prices and dates:

IP1 – 195,000 in 2012
IP2 – 128,000 in 2006
IP3 – 190,000 in 2019 (wrote about that purchase here)
IP4 – 235,000 in 2019
IP5 – 189,000 in 2020

We have 2 boys under 10.

I am interested to know where your rental properties are with values that low and how recently you purchased them. Also how many children and what ages to live off that amount yearly?
