Speaking in the video, which has since received over one million views, he said: “Two years ago, my wife and I invested in our first short term rental property, think Airbnb.
“Then we liquidated our retirement accounts, not saying that’s what everyone should do but that’s what we did to acquire our second one (property).
“Saved up money from work and cash flow from the first two properties bought our third place, set us financially free less than one year later.
“Fast forward four more months to March 2021 bought our fourth Airbnb property, these four properties are going to cash flow us around $20,000 per month (after expenses.)
“So we decided to officially quit our jobs and we bought a camper van and we’re going to travel the entire United States, it’s something we’ve always wanted to do.”
Michael wants to encourage others to follow in his footsteps.

He added: “I tell you this because you do not have to work some soulless job your entire life until you’re 65 and then retire and enjoy the glory days.
“Society teaches us to live life backwards.
“Figure out a way to invest your money into assets that pay you monthly so you can be financially free and do things you are truly passionate about.”
Since quitting their jobs, the couple have realised their dream of travelling up and down America and have also visited destinations in europe.
Michael recently revealed that he and his wife had invested in a fifth Airbnb in Florida with the cash flow from their other properties, making up to £37,000 a month.
