That's the year that Dogen quit his job as an investment banker, having spent 13 years working, saving, investing and generally burning himself out.
Over the years, Dogen built his passive income streams to about $380,000 annually — $288,000 net of taxes.
That was enough to cover the family budget while living in San Francisco — until now.
By swapping income-producing assets for a house, "I basically have a lot more dead money now," Dogen says.
That means his passive income streams no longer cover his family budget — so back to work it is.
