Episode 3723:

Mr. 1500 explains how sixteen years of flipping houses carried him to financial independence, and what the pace cost him along the way. He recounts eighty-hour weeks, a second story framed in the rain, and the parts of his kids' childhoods he worked straight through. His warning is not against the goal itself but against forgetting to live while chasing it.
