How Purple Achieved Financial Independence and Retired at 30 | APurpleLife REWIND
What does it really take to retire at 30?
In this REWIND episode of Money Noticias, Sunem and Israel sit down with Purple, the creator of APurpleLife.com, who achieved financial independence and retired in 2020—at just 30 years old.
Purple, a Black woman who worked in marketing, began documenting her journey to financial independence in 2015. By strategically tripling her income through job hopping and cutting her expenses in half using domestic geo-arbitrage, she reached FI faster than most—without sacrificing her quality of life.
Today, she lives a nomadic lifestyle, traveling the world and spending her time birdwatching, stargazing, writing, and redefining what “retirement” can look like.
This episode challenges the idea that early retirement is boring, unrealistic, or joyless—and offers a refreshing, practical look at how flexibility and intentional living can accelerate your path to financial freedom.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- What financial independence really means—and how to define your “enough” number
- Why job hopping can be one of the fastest ways to increase income
- How domestic geo-arbitrage can lower costs while improving your lifestyle
- What life after early retirement actually looks like (spoiler: it’s not boring)
- How to balance aggressive saving with enjoying your life now
- Why staying open to change can unlock unexpected opportunities
If you’re curious about early retirement, financial independence for women, or building wealth in a nontraditional way, this episode is a must-listen.
