Last week, I was a guest on the Bigger Pockets Money podcast, hosted by Scott Trench and Mindy Jensen! Listen to the podcast here:
Inside the Episode:
- What our life was like before we focused on financial freedom
- Why the 180-degree shift to financial independence?
- The first steps we took
- How we started tracking our expenses
- The value of cooking good food
- Cutting out unnecessary expenses while optimizing needs
- Buying the worst mortgage property
- Our tenant from hell
- How I finally decided to quit my job
- Our FI number
- And SO much more!
Hey Joel,
Just want to reach out and say Thank You. I handed in my resignation the same week you were on the BP Money podcast. I was very nervous about quitting my job (still feels weird). But I will never forget you said: “My worst case scenario, is everyone else’s regular day”. I think of this whenever I second guess my decision. Helps a lot!
Keep on keeping on,
A fellow Joel
Congratulations!!! This comment made my day 🙂 Always excited to hear people replacing fear with flexibility! I think so many people in the FIRE space work longer than they need to. Good luck, and keep me posted on your journey.
Thanks Joel. Will do.
Yep, I’d rather work not enough, than accidentally overwork. I can always go back if I need to!
