In 2016, Mark Lemoine came home from work and told his wife Karla Lemoine he wanted to quit his job and buy a campground.
The Lemoines put their house on the market, withdrew all their savings and "sold everything we owned to buy the campground" for $1.6 million, Mark says.
Mark and Karla Lemoine sold their house, car and more to buy a campground in Benton Harbor, Michigan.
It brought in $1.2 million in revenue last year, enough for the Lemoines to pay themselves a combined $150,000 in salary.
The Lemoines had to get creative to pay for their dream $1.6 million campground.
