Investor & Entrepreneur Introducing Michael Houghton
Originally from New Zealand and now living in Ireland, I am a remote Laravel developer who first started investing in 2017. By focusing largely on investing in assets that produce monthly cash flow, in mid 2018 I was able to stop working full time and now only work part time as a web developer.
While I will continue to support my small but loyal web development clients, my main focus is on growing my investment portfolio as I move closer to full financial independence. I look to invest in peer to peer lending, forestry, forex managed trading and businesses.
I graduated from the University of Auckland in 2005 with a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Management and Entrepreneurship.
I am passionate about financial independence and write blog articles on how to achieve financial independence through the power of investing. Sign up to my newsletter to keep in touch with my latest articles on financial independence.
