“How can I become work optional in less than 20 years?” That’s a question this week’s Dreamer, Steven Stack, engineer-turned-financial coach, asked himself in his early twenties. But the gap between a thought and actual results, or a dream and the fulfillment of that dream, is action. So Steven put a plan in motion and became work optional in his early thirties.

In this episode, Steven shares with us his personal story of how he was able to accumulate wealth, and become a debt-free multi-millionaire in his thirties.

Steven is the author of Simple Money Talks. In this episode, he discusses his investment strategies, as well as the obstacles, and lessons learned as a newbie real estate investor who had limited financial resources. 

In this episode, Steven Stack discusses:

• Three solid money lessons he learned from his family
• The investing strategies he used to become work optional in his early thirties
• How to become a 9 to 5 millionaire 
• Investing mistakes he made early on as a real estate investor
