Adulting Is Easy: Making Personal Finance & Real Estate Easy

This week, Stephen, Clint, Tom, and Lauren are excited to bring you their Twitter Space recording from January 19, 2022 with Business Famous (Chris), Mary, and Flav. The panel discuss tokenized real estate, what it is, what they own, and how to buy it. We went into detail about Lofty.ai, and everyone asked some great questions. Tokenized real estate is such a new space, which makes it a great topic to learn a little about it.

There's no question really that wealthy people and the rest have different mindsets. This week, Lauren interviews the Financial Imagineer to see where the rich mindset comes from. The two discuss changing mindsets (totally possible), taking responsibility for the things you can control, and getting curious about life.

Matt the Financial Imagineer is a personal finance aficionado who has reached financial independence before hitting 40. He did his first side-hustles before entering teenagehood and started saving and investing. His net-worth crossed six figures at 21 and has been growing further ever since, ultimately reaching financial independence before 40. Matt has worked and lived in different countries, learned different languages, had a career in Private Banking/Wealth Management, and then fell in love and married his wife (from Taiwan). Matt and his wife then had children and reached FIRE together. They currently live between Singapore, Taiwan, and Switzerland.

This week, Stephen, Clint, Tom, and Lauren are excited to bring you their Twitter Space recording from January 12, 2022 with Budget Dog (Brennan) and Jesse The Best Interest (and FI Squirrel was lurking again). Brennan told his story about going from one of the Big 4 to running Budget Dog full time. Jesse talked about transitioning from mechanical engineering to helping people with their finances full time. We picked this topic to celebrate Tom, who left his 9-5 last week at age 39, and he shared his story as well. Clint, Stephen, and Lauren discusses their exit plans. We had about 200 people in and out of this one, so you shouldn't miss it!

Together, Stephen, Clint, and Tom (Lauren was on vacation) are excited to bring you their Twitter Spaces recording from December 29, 2021 with the Debt Free Guys. David and John are passionate about helping others live happy, healthy, and wealthy lives. The Debt Free Guys tell their story, which starts with them realizing they couldn't live the life they wanted because of being tens of thousands of dollars in debt. They learned to have fun in NSE (not so expensive) ways, and they spread the word about how others can do the same, especially in the LGBTQ+ community. Other speakers join and share their emotional stories and the group discusses equality, trauma, and making the world a better place for future generations.

Note that due to the Christmas holiday, this one is more lightly edited than others.

It's officially a tradition! Jenny's back again to help Lauren break down 2021. The two cover who the listeners are (age, gender) and where they're from (we added a LOT of new places!). They briefly touch on every topic covered with high level detail, emphasizing the top 5 from the year. This episode is a great overview to see which episodes you'd like to go back and listen to. Lauren even hints at episodes to come in 2022, and talks about the other podcasts she's joined.

Thanks for a great year! And don't forget to "follow" wherever you listen. :)

Together, Stephen, Clint, Tom, Andy, and Lauren are excited to bring you their Twitter Spaces recording from December 15, 2021. This week's topic was Dividends. The panel was also joined by The Defensive Investor and Dividend Hero (Ross). Andy (Capturando Dividends) and Ross went into detail about dividends - how to analyze dividend-paying companies/stocks, which are their favorite, and why they're so convicted about this investing strategy. This is an excellent episode to listen to to dip your foot into understanding dividends.
