Moving to the Suburbs to Work from Home, with Sarry Ibrahim, Ep. 72

Sarry Ibrahim has been working from home for the greater part of the past 10 years, currently working for himself in Chicago, Illinois, as an independent financial advisor/coach and independent insurance agent. He's been living in an apartment close to downtown Chicago but is closing on a house about 45 minutes away in the suburbs this week. In this episode, Sarry chatted about some of the challenges of apartment living in the city while working from home, including the smaller living space and ability to hear neighbors while on calls. He is looking forward to some of the changes that will bring in terms of having more space and being able to set up his home office away from the busier areas of their household.

Sarry has worked office positions as well as held remote-work positions as he's worked for other companies. He was eventually able to grow his own business in the hours outside of his 9-5 position and got to a point where he had enough of his expenses saved up for that he was able to leave his job and go out on his own. Sarry helps real estate investors, business owners, and full-time employees grow safe and predictable wealth regardless of market conditions using a financial strategy that has been around for over 160 years. He started this journey when he was in grad school completing his MBA. He originally worked for companies like Allstate, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Healthspring, and Humana before founding Financial Asset Protection, a financial services firm that focuses on one sole concept; the Bank On Yourself Concept, also known as the Infinite Banking Concept. He gives away two books on his website and offers a one-hour consultation with people on his website for Financial Asset Protection.
