Brendan J.

I graduated school and married my beautiful wife in '08, and since then have settled down into the 9-5 (or rather, the 7-6) schedule of post-college life. I certainly enjoy my job, but want to set my young family up financially so that we can have the freedom to pursue our passions later in life. When im in my 40s, I want to be able to travel overseas with my wife 2 times a year, send our kids to good private schools, and be at my son's football scrimmage at 3:00 in the afternoon because my schedule allows it. The materialistic aspect of wealth is not what drives me, you can keep your Porsche; it's the freedom that comes with it. My first, and greatest posession will always be my familiy. I desire to be with them at all times, and that's what drives me towards REI and financial freedom.
