We started Project 1000 in May 2018 to track our progress on our way to Flamingo FI and semi-retirement. The goal was to reach this milestone by February 2021 – in 1000 days. We hit our goal in October 2020, 4 months earlier than predicted.
We have since removed our individual monthly updates for ASIC compliance reasons. However, below is a quick snapshot of the ups and downs of our journey to Flamingo FI. I hope this illustrates what you can achieve if you have a clear goal and are committed to getting there!
