She Refused to Buy Toronto Real Estate… and Retired at 32 | Kristy Shen
Fri Feb 06 2026
What if the Canadian Dream isn’t owning the house you live in… but owning your time?
In this episode, we sit down with Kristy Shen and Bryce Leung, the couple behind Millennial Revolution and authors of Quit Like a Millionaire. They retired at 32 with a seven-figure portfolio, without owning their own home, and built a life centered on freedom, flexibility, and intentional investing.
We dive into how they saved aggressively, why they chose not to buy in Toronto, how their investment strategy actually works, and what changed after becoming parents. Most importantly, they share practical advice for Canadians who want more control over their money and their future.
This conversation isn’t just about early retirement.
It’s about designing a life on your terms.
