Passively Rich with Rentals

He Retired at 34 with One Bold Move—And Built Generational Wealth Along the Way (with Sam Dogen, Financial Samurai)

Melissa Nash Real Estate Investor Season 2025 Episode 20

Is it really possible to retire at 34—without winning the lottery or building a startup?

In this episode, Melissa Nash sits down with Sam Dogen, also known as the Financial Samurai, to talk about how he walked away from Wall Street, negotiated a six-figure severance, and built a 7-figure portfolio through smart investing and one bold, life-changing move.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why most people miss the $250K wealth milestone—and how to reach it faster
✅ How to build passive income that funds your freedom
✅ The “One Property Per Child” strategy for generational wealth
✅ Why saving until it hurts now can buy freedom later
✅ The mindset shift that separates future millionaires from paycheck-to-paycheck cycles

This episode is packed with real talk, practical steps, and the kind of financial wisdom that changes lives—not just bank accounts.
