Michael Houghton is an Entrepreneur & Investor, originally from New Zealand and now living in Ireland. He is on a mission to become financially independent. Like many, he has grown tired of selling his time for money so started to look into ways at which he could work less, but still earn as much and enjoy more free time with his family. After spending a lot of time planning how, he started to execute on his strategy and in 2018 he was able to cut down from full time to part time work as a freelance developer. This was his first step towards freeing up my time and seeing a lifestyle change as a result of his decision to chase financial freedom.

Michael also has started sharing his learnings and advice through his podcast and blog posts. All available from his site hereHis ultimate goal is to build
