  • Ramit Sethi’s Life-Changing "Money Conversation" Script for Couples

    Ramit Sethi, the money and couples’ finances expert, is back! This time, he’s teaching you how to have life-changing money conversations with your partner so you can build a “rich life” together and even FIRE faster! You may know Ramit from his popular book, I Will Teach You to Be Rich, or his Netflix series How to Get Rich, but today, he’s sharing brand new insights, techniques, and lessons from his newest book, Money for Couples! 

    If you’re a FIRE freak like us, you may have a partner who’s having a tough time getting on the same financial page as you. You see their eyes glaze over as you pull up spreadsheets, talking about compound interest and the savings from switching to non-organic broccoli. We’re sure it’s well-intentioned, but this could be doing more harm than help.

    If you want to enjoy getting “rich” with your partner, have more time to do the things you love, and build your wealth as a partnership instead of constantly persuading your other half, this is the episode to catch! Ramit shares his “script” for having crucial money conversations, diagnoses which “money type” you fall into, and gives the steps to escape the “Middle-Class Trap”! 


    In This Episode We Cover

    How to start a “money conversation” with your partner (EVEN if they aren’t into FIRE)

    The money dates you must have to get on the same page 

    The four “money types” and how knowing yours can strengthen your relationship 

    What the FIRE movement gets wrong about money (it’s not all about dollars and cents!)

    Escaping the “Middle-Class Trap” of not being able to retire EVEN when you’re wealthy

    The most surprising thing that Ramit has learned about money in most relationships 

    Why Ramit rents and has NO INTEREST in buying a house! 

    And So Much More!

  • How to Make an Extra $100 a Day in 2025 (Working from Home!)

    Want to know how to make $100 a day in 2025, all while working from home? We brought the queen of side hustles, Jackie Mitchell, back on the show to share how her money-making journey has been going. Jackie set a goal to make $100 a day to save up for a down payment. She did just that, making close to $11,000 in total in her one-hundred-day side hustling stretch. Now, she’s bought a house, still side hustling, and saving a TON of money. How’s she doing it?


    Jackie reveals the easiest and most profitable side hustles from her $100-a-day challenge. Some side hustles made her $500 for just three hours of work, while other more casual tasks paid her anywhere from twenty to twenty-five dollars per hour while she was hanging out at home. But what has she done with that extra money?


    Today, Jackie shares the huge money moves she’s made to put herself in a FIRE position early on in life. She’s got a big goal: pay off her new house in her thirties! Can she do it? With these side hustles, it’s looking likely. Plus, she shares how she pays for trips, holiday gifts, and more with her easy work-from-home side hustles anyone can sign up for.


    In This Episode We Cover

    The $100-a-day work-from-home side hustles you can do entirely online 

    One side hustle that paid Jackie over $100 per hour and how she found it

    The time-consuming side hustle that is NOT worth the money 

    Paying off your mortgage early vs. investing and why Jackie is going against FIRE advice 

    Budgeting hacks Jackie and her husband use to spend just eighty dollars a week on groceries (seriously!)

    Why Jackie DOESN’T want to retire early (but WILL still reach financial independence!) 

    And So Much More!

  • Chasing Financial "Stability" After $100K+ in Debt and Layoffs

    Got debt to pay off? You might relate to Leo, a personal finance journalist who’s focused on financial stability over FIRE—at least for now. With six figures in student loans and credit card debt, Leo found themselves in a tough spot after being laid off with no safety net. Determined never to end up in that position again, they began chipping away at their debt, working toward financial peace of mind instead of a relentless grind to early retirement.

    Leo shares why their approach to financial freedom is different. While they don’t want to wait until sixty-five to retire, they’ve crafted a “wealth plan” that balances paying off debt, building a safety net, and creating a better life today. 

    In this episode, Leo dives deep into budgeting tips, debt repayment strategies, and the unique financial challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. Tired of the all-out grind to FIRE and want “financial stability” instead? Leo has just what you need! 


    In This Episode We Cover

    Why financial stability can be just as important as the FIRE grind

    Leo’s practical strategies for budgeting and paying off six-figure debt

    How to create a wealth plan that supports your life—even while tackling debt

    The sacrifices worth making (and the ones that aren’t!) in your financial journey

    Why an “accountability buddy” is a cheat code for achieving your financial goals 

    And So Much More!

  • The Mad Fientist’s New Rule To Retire Early Even Sooner

    If you want to retire early, the Mad Fientist is your guide. For over a decade, Brandon, more commonly known as the “Mad Fientist,” has been running simulations, experiments, and exercises to discover which road to early retirement is the fastest. Now, in his forties, Brandon has time to reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and his regrets on the sprint to early retirement and financial freedom. And he’s also got a new update that’ll make your early retirement journey smoother.

    After tinkering with the beloved and rarely challenged 4% rule, Brandon decided it was time to sit down and calculate how much you really need to retire early. For decades, financial freedom chasers have been breaking their backs, trying to have as much stashed away as possible to enjoy their well-earned time off from work. But, it turns out that this number might be overinflated, and you can retire with much less than you think. That means your early retirement timeline just got a LOT shorter.

    In this episode, Brandon will describe why the 4% rule may be a bit too rigid, how to ensure you’ll have enough during early retirement, what to do during a market crash or correction, and why spending thousands of dollars on a coffee machine isn’t such a bad idea. If you want to maximize enjoyment in early retirement, instead of building a big bank account you probably won’t use, stick around!


    In This Episode We Cover

    Early retirement rules of thumb you MUST know when on the path to FIRE

    The 4% rule and why you DON’T need to follow it to a tee

    Retirement withdrawal rules and how much to spend during a crash/correction

    The skill of spending and what Brandon regrets most from pre-FIRE life

    Tracking your expenses and why knowing your costs is CRUCIAL to early retirement

    And So Much More!

  • Broke at 50? How to Retire On-Time (Or Early!)

    Are you worried you won’t be able to retire at sixty-five? Feeling financially limited in your fifties and need a retirement plan so you can finally stop working? Well, we made this episode just for you. Today, we’re teaching you how to retire on time at age sixty-five (or even retire early!) if you’re starting from zero with no money to your name. We spell out exactly what we would do to go from a zero-dollar net worth to a million dollars in retirement!

    This is a step-by-step plan that anyone who wants to retire on time can follow. We’ll walk through two personas: Barb, a recently divorced stay-at-home mom reentering the workforce with a zero-dollar net worth. Then, we’ll touch on Sally, a six-figure income earner who also is starting from zero. Both scenarios take slightly different steps, so listen closely because your income level could completely change your money moves!

    Don’t give up on retirement! No matter your age, these simple steps can help get you to a financially stable (if not flourishing) position. We’ll talk about how to make more money, cut expenses, save every month, which investments you should prioritize for retirement, and what to do if you’re still in debt!


    In This Episode We Cover

    How to go from broke at fifty to millionaire (and retirement-ready!) at sixty 

    The one beginner-friendly investment that could make you richer (faster) than traditional retirement accounts 

    Starting a side hustle and how to make more money so you can retire faster

  • Finance Friday: Can I Still Reach FI by 45 If I Quit My Job?

    Alex Preziosi wants to reach financial independence by the age of forty-five, and with several hundred thousand dollars in retirement accounts, brokerage accounts, and savings, she’s on pace to do just that. But now, she’s thinking about quitting her W2 job. Can she still hit her FI goal? Today’s guest has good problems, but problems, nonetheless!

    Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Since we last spoke with Alex, she has made two major leaps on her journey to financial independence. First, she has taken up house hacking, which pays for most of her mortgage in an expensive area of the US. But that’s not all. She has also grown her side hustle as a real estate agent into a full-fledged business, where she now earns more than she does at her W2 job! These moves have only widened the gap between her income and her expenses, and, as a result, she’s sitting on an even bigger pile of cash.

    Now, Alex finds herself at yet another crossroads. Is her W2 holding her back? Should she pursue full-time entrepreneurship while she has such a strong cash position? Stay tuned as we dive into the numbers and try to figure out Alex’s best path to FI by forty-five!


    In This Episode We Cover

    The best path for Alex to reach financial independence by forty-five

    When to leave your W2 job and pursue full-time entrepreneurship

    How to lower (or eliminate!) your housing cost with the house hacking strategy

    Where to invest a large amount of cash (stock market versus real estate)

    Tax strategies that could help you save a fortune over your lifetime

    Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Do you ever worry about your finances? You’re not alone!

We’ve pulled the most common concerns about money and are going to respond to each of them in today’s show!

    Tune in to learn how much money you actually need to comfortably retire, how to deal with burnout on the journey to FIRE, and if you’re “missing out on life” by practicing frugality in your youth. Scott and Mindy will even debate whether the returns from real estate investing are worth the trouble of managing rental properties!

    How much money you actually need to retire (and if the four-percent rule still works)

    Renting versus buying a house amidst today’s high home prices and interest rates

    Whether the “grind” to early retirement is worth it (and what you should do if it’s not!)

    Whether you “miss out on life” by living frugally and racing toward retirement

He was forty years old with $89,000 in debt, had no assets, a low-paying job, and zero investing experience. Thanks to his “lazy” method of building wealth, he was able to amass millions of dollars in assets, create over $200,000 per year in passive income streams, and retire just ten years after starting his journey to FIRE. Can you do it, too, even in today’s markets? Yes!

    Dion did what most people aren’t willing to: lower your cost of living, spend less, save more, and yes…house hack. He built a small real estate portfolio just by house hacking alone. Still, thanks to the compounding effect of real estate, Dion’s passive income from the rentals began to overtake his monthly expenses. Now, he rakes in four to five times more than he could ever spend. Who wouldn’t want a $200,000 per year income stream in retirement?!

    But it’s NOT too late to copy Dion’s exact strategy. In fact, Dion is sharing why NOW is one of the best times ever to get into real estate investing and how you, too, in ten years or less, could be making major passive income and enjoying early retirement!
