About our guest:
Gerry Born and his wife are a retired teaching couple whose journey to financial independence began under challenging circumstances, grappling with $48,000 in student loan debt and unreliable cars in their early thirties. Their financial situation took a significant turn for the better during a five-year teaching stint in Saudi Arabia starting in 1996, where Gerry taught ESL while his wife completed her MBA.

Upon returning to the U.S. in December 2001, they initially planned to live and teach in Texas but ultimately settled in LaGrange, Georgia, where they lived for seven years.
