Financial Samurai

Sam Dogen on building wealth and retiring early.

Newsletter FIRE Weekly Updated Sep 2026

About

Financial Samurai is written by Sam Dogen, a former investment banker who retired in his mid-thirties, and it covers building wealth through real estate, public markets, and career strategy. The tone is candid about the tradeoffs of early retirement, and often heavier on data than most personal finance writing.

Posts dig into net worth benchmarks, real estate analysis, and the psychological side of walking away from a high income, using Dogen's own finances as a running case study. It suits readers who want a numbers-driven, real-estate-heavy take on financial independence.
