Financial freedom allows you to do what you want, when you want, and with who you want. But it’s not just for lounging in hammocks or jet-setting around the world. When tragedy strikes, a sudden loss occurs, and you need time to spend with your family, friends, and loved ones, financial freedom becomes the bedrock of what helps you recover. This is why the option to retire early is so crucial for the everyday American; you never know when you’ll need to take some time for yourself.

Jordan Klint, former guest on episode sixty-three, achieved financial freedom at a surprisingly young age, with five children to boot! His time freedom and ability to live on his terms was an added bonus the last time we talked to him, but now, we understand that it was necessary for Jordan to keep sane during the past year. Jordan’s family went through a significant tragedy, resulting in the loss of not one but multiple relatives all at once. This was an incredibly hard time for Jordan and his family but has allowed him to reflect on what FIRE-chasers need to do to ensure their families are protected when they pass.

While this episode does bring up some difficult points, it’s full of extremely useful tips that Jordan used to get his family’s finances together. We get into estate planning, why you need a will, life insurance, car insurance, and the “emergency binder” that EVERYONE should have. Don’t wait until the unexpected happens. If you’re building wealth, you NEED to put these plans in place. 

In This Episode We Cover

Estate planning 101 and why trusts, wills, and other documents can protect your family’s wealth 

Self-care, mental health, and why investing in your friends is so important

Life insurance and why buying a policy is crucial for family members who rely on you

Financial planners and how to use their expertise to help you structure an after-passing plan

Early retirement and how Jordan was able to take time to recover and recharge

Jordan’s post-retirement portfolio and how he’s spending his days after reaching financial freedom

And So Much More!

You want to retire early, but odds are, you think that you can’t. Whether it’s a high-stress job, a business that requires your full attention, or just the belief that you MUST be working, most Americans don’t think they can regain their time freedom. But most people don’t know about “lifestyle investing.” Instead of trying to be the wealthiest investor with the biggest house, fastest car, and most money in the bank, lifestyle investing asks, “what do you TRULY need to be financially free?”

And there’s no one better to answer this question than Justin Donald, author of The Lifestyle Investor: The 10 Commandments of Cash Flow Investing for Passive Income and Financial Freedom. Justin redefined what it means to be rich by focusing on time, not money, as the most important metric. He went from working as a stressed-out business owner to having complete time and financial freedom simply by putting the lifestyle he wanted before everything else. And he has a lot to teach those of us that have yet to hit financial independence.

Today, Justin will define some of his cash flow commandments, explain why passive income is the most essential investment you can make, and detail how to start living a proactive, not reactive, lifestyle. No matter where you’re at financially, this shift in understanding will help you build the life you love, WITHOUT creating more tasks for yourself to take care of!

In This Episode We Cover

Lifestyle investing explained, and why time freedom is far more important than money 

How to find out whether you run your business or your business runs you

The ten commandments of passive cash flow and where to find it

Real estate investing and other income streams EVERYONE should know about 

Diversification vs. concentration and which builds wealth faster

De-risking your investments and how to get money out of any deal your enter

And So Much More!

Want to hit FIRE? You’ll need a smart side hustle. We’re talking about income-doubling, cash-printing, serious side businesses that will allow you to leave your job and grow a substantial income stream, so you can invest the rest andreach the early retirement you’ve dreamed of. And for today’s guest, Alex, this is exactly the goal. Alex left college and went straight into the corporate world, only to realize that her potential wasn’t being met and there were alternative income goldmines that she could be chasing.

So, she got her real estate license as a side hustle, helping buyers and sellers get into and out of homes. Her commissions boosted her income to unforeseen amounts, and now, Alex is sitting on a stack of cash that could help launch her to financial independence. But, even now, with a better job and a serious side hustle, Alex wants to venture deeper into the entrepreneurial realm. The next big dream? Becoming a financial coach for those that want to be in her position.

But, before she starts, Alex needs help figuring out what to do with the savings account she’s been diligently growing. Should she use it to put twenty percent down on a house hack that would limit her living expenses? Or, is there a savvier, more creative way to finance her next property that could put Alex in a FAR better position? If you’re trying to hit FI before, after, or at forty-five, this episode is one you can’t afford to miss!

In This Episode We Cover

Starting your side hustle and boosting your income by turning extra time into money

Creative financing and how to buy your first property at a rock-bottom mortgage rate

How to know if you have too much cash (and what to do with it)

HSAs, IRAs, 401ks, and other retirement accounts you should be throwing cash at 

Becoming a real estate agent and whether or not it’s worth it for the commission checks

Designing the perfect portfolio for early retirement (even if you’re just getting started)

House hacking and how to use your primary residence to generate passive income

And So Much More!

Retirement investing, bad debt, backdoor Roth IRAs, bonds, and starting a business. If you’re just beginning your personal finance journey, this can all seem a bit complicated. Where do you invest first? What should you do with extra cash? And how do you know a financial fiduciary is genuinely looking out for your best interest? Don’t worry; you don’t need all the answers. Just tune in, and listen to what financial expert Amanda Wolfe and Certified Financial Planner Kyle Mast have to say.

It’s been a few months since we spoke to our go-to money experts. But we’ve been receiving a ton of finance FAQs in our Facebook group. So, we rounded up some of the best and got Amanda and Kyle’s take live on this episode. First, we’ll go over when to pay off bad debt when starting a business and what a “no money down” business really means. Then, Amanda and Kyle give their strong stances on if bond investing makes sense for the average FIRE-chaser.

You’ll also hear the OPTIMAL way to set up your retirement investing, which accounts are worth hitting first, and the financial order of operations you should follow to optimize your retirement planning. And try not to send your financial advisor this episode because we’ll be discussing when an advisor is and isn’t worth the money and why a commission-based fee structure could be a big red flag when deciding who to invest with. All this (and much more) is coming up in this episode!

In This Episode We Cover

The exact way to invest for retirement and which accounts deserve your cash the most

The backdoor Roth IRA explained and how to invest a MASSIVE amount in one of the most tax-advantaged retirement accounts 

Whether you should pay off bad debt BEFORE starting your own small business

Investing in bonds and why this “safe” investment might not be worth the lost profit

HSAs (health savings accounts) and when to get reimbursed for past medical purchases

Fee-only vs. commission-based financial advisors and why the two are DRAMATICALLY different

And So Much More!

Both SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) and Signature Bank have crashed and burned dramatically over the past week. What once was a few large customers making withdrawals quickly turned into a bank run of epic proportions. Within just a few days, SVB went from one of the largest banks in the United States to one of the biggest bank failures in the nation’s history. But what led to such a fast-paced collapse, and are more banks on the chopping block?

You don’t need to be an expert economist to understand what happened at SVB and Signature Bank this week. But you will want to hear Dave Meyer’s take on what could come next. With bailouts back on the table, many Americans fear we’re on the edge of a total financial collapse, mirroring what unfolded in 2008. With more and more Americans going on cash grabs, trying to keep their wealth safe from the “domino effect” of bank failures, what should everyday investors prepare for?

More specifically, for our beloved real estate investors, how could SVB’s failure affect the housing market? Will the Federal Reserve finally be forced to end its aggressive rate hikes? Could money flood into real estate as hard assets become more attractive? Stick around as Dave explains this week’s wild events and what it could mean for the future of the US economy.

In This Episode We Cover

SVB’s (Silicon Valley Bank) collapse explained and why it failed so fast

The bank run “domino effect” that could put other intuitions at risk

Why a “bailout” happened so quickly, and whether customer funds were secured

Bond yields and why making long-term investments was a risky bet for SVB 

The future of mortgage rates and how SVB’s failure could lead to fewer rate hikes

The psychology behind a bank failure and how it affects the entire economy

And So Much More!

Kevin O’Leary (AKA Mr. Wonderful) might be the world’s favorite (and most outspoken) investor. You’ve probably seen him on Shark Tank, where he’s doing deals with startups, putting overconfident entrepreneurs in their place, and often making boring products into billion-dollar companies. Kevin has the Midas touch, or at least it seems that way on television. Still, he doesn’t shy away from mentioning failures and the enormous lessons he’s learned that eventually led him to make hundreds of millions of dollars.

But before Kevin was Mr. Wonderful, he was just Kevin, the local ice cream scooper who learned a hard lesson about being an employee. After college, Kevin started a production business, which eventually led him to create The Learning Company, a $4.2 billion business that allowed Kevin to enter into a new stage of wealth. Since then, he’s been aggressively investing in (and building) private companies inside and out of Shark Tank. And after investing so heavily and working so hard, Kevin knows EXACTLY what makes a company (and investment) succeed or fail.

Today, we get a glimpse inside Kevin’s personal investment portfolio, the three things he thinks EVERY entrepreneur should have to make it big, and why diversification is one of the most CRUCIAL ways to build and protect your wealth. You’ll also hear how to invest in startups like Kevin does, why Kevin makes big bets on women entrepreneurs, and how he’s investing during today’s recessionary environment.

In This Episode We Cover

Kevin’s investment portfolio exposed and which assets he’s all-in on

The difference between an entrepreneur and an employee and why Kevin only worked one job

Why you MUST start tracking your income and expenses unless you want to remain broke

The three things EVERY investor/entrepreneur needs to make it big

Why building a portfolio beats investing in single stocks, companies, or ideas

The government program that could pay you hundreds of thousands if you own a business

How to start investing in startups and small businesses like Kevin does on Shark Tank 

And So Much More!

Your small business could be the key to financial independence, early retirement, and more income than your W2 is paying you. But, most small business owners don’t understand the best way to grow their income stream. With a DIY mentality, you could be stuck doing the skilled work, answering the emails, picking up phone calls, bookkeeping, and spinning ten plates at the same time while your business fails to grow. Instead, you must step out of the “solopreneur” role and into the “business owner” mindset that can help you quickly make a six-figure income while working for yourself.

Today’s guest Amy took a big risk, leaving her job to start her physical therapy practice. She’s been slowly building up her income to a stable monthly amount but wants to spend more time on money-making activities in her business and less on administrative work that she could easily hire out. With a few quick calculations, Scott and Mindy devise a scalable way for Amy to start bringing in six figures while outsourcing all the work she doesn’t love.

And even though Amy wants to make more income, she’s not obsessed with hitting FIRE fast. Instead, she wants a slow path to FI, one where she can focus on raising her son, spending time with her family, and helping the patients that need it most. So if you’re stuck in a small business or side hustle that takes too much time while making too little, stick around for some stellar advice from Scott and Mindy!

In This Episode We Cover

The slow path to financial freedom and why you DON’T need to race to retire early

Small businesses, side hustles, and when it’s worth quitting your job to pursue your passion

Outsourcing and how to take the most menial tasks off your plate so you can focus on making more money

Websites, referrals, and other marketing tactics to bring in new business 

Auto loans and the “gray area” of interest rates that EVERY listener should be careful of

Unit economics 101 and what all solopreneurs need to do to grow a full-on business

And So Much More!

Is whole life insurance a scam or a worthwhile investment? You may have heard us talk about whole life insurance before, but we’d bet we’re not the only ones mentioning it to you. Your financial advisor, business partner, parents, or fellow investors could have also let you in on the “amazing benefits” that only whole life insurance can provide. But how much of this is fact, and how much is fiction? And, if whole life insurance is such a bulletproof investment, why not buy a policy right now instead of investing for retirement?

We brought on Dr. Jim Dahle, better known as, The White Coat Investor, to explain the truth behind the whole life insurance system and whether or not it really is a scam. Jim started his financial education during his medical school residency after realizing that almost every financial professional was trying to take advantage of him. Whether it was a real estate agent, financial advisor, or accountant, Jim felt like he couldn’t hold his own when in casual conversation with them. So, he beefed up his knowledge of investing and finance and started The White Coat Investor to help doctors, just like him, make sense of their cents.

Early in his investing career, Jim spent over seven years paying into a high-priced whole life insurance policy, only to realize that he made a negative return. Now, he’s here to educate EVERY investor on what whole life insurance really is, who truly needs it, and the MASSIVE commissions salespeople make when selling you a policy. If you have whole life insurance, you NEED to hear this. And if you don’t, you’ll now understand why it’s pushed so hard on everyday Americans.

In This Episode We Cover

Whole life insurance explained, and the real benefit of having a policy

Term life insurance vs. whole life insurance and which is better bang for your buck

Sales commission schemes and why whole life insurance policies are so expensive

The situations when a whole life insurance policy makes sense (and when it DOES NOT)

The “infinite banking” illusion and why this capital-raising tactic isn’t as clever as it seems

Rebuttals to make next time your financial advisor pushes a policy on you

Fee-based vs. fee-only financial advisors and which have your best interest at heart

And So Much More!

Doubling your net worth in only a year? Seems impossible, right? Is making such massive money moves during a down market even realistic? If you think it can’t be done, tune in, and you’ll hear exactly how repeat guest Yourri Dessureault did it. Yourri’s name may sound familiar; we talked to him back on BiggerPockets Money episode 236, where he spoke about trying to achieve a massive $7,000,000 retirement goal while making $120K per year. But, a lot has changed in seventeen-or-so months.

Yourri has returned with a much bigger paycheck, a ten-unit real estate portfolio, and a net worth that dwarfs what he presented in 2021. So, how did he make such big moves, and what was the catalyst for him to get on the financial freedom fast track? Over the past year, Yourri has been extremely disciplined with his finances, looking at every dollar he had and asking whether or not it was doing the best it could. As a result, he’s decided to sell off some significant stock holdings, put his Bitcoin mining on pause, and go headfirst into the world of real estate investing.

Now, with nine rental properties out of state, Yourri is starting to build an outsourced team that can work to help his wealth grow while he spearheads an effort to fund bigger, better deals. Through intelligent networking, Yourri found a “golden goose,” slowly feeding him real estate deals that’ll make him rich in no time. If you want to repeat Yourri’s almost unbelievable system for building wealth quickly, you’ll need to tune in!

In This Episode We Cover

Why Yourri said “bye-bye” to Bitcoin and hello to real estate investing 

How to get a raise at work and taking on more responsibility for a much larger paycheck

Out-of-state real estate investing and using it to buy cheap houses with phenomenal cash flow

Financing your rental properties and what to do when no one will fund your mortgage

Selling stocks and when it’s time to trade passive investing for active income

Traditional 401(k)s vs. Roth 401(k)s and which to pick when you’re in a high tax bracket

And So Much More!

Twitter’s massive layoffs affected the tech industry more than people think. For years, tech stocks ran with enormous valuations, with over-inflated workforces of employees getting paid six-figure salaries with even more impressive bonus packages. This wasn’t sustainable by any means, and as a new type of CEO steps in, tech companies are looking to get leaner, more operationally efficient, and return to their startup-like roots. But how does this reforming tech market affect the US economy?

We brought on Aman Verjee, founder of Practical Venture Capital, to explain what’s happening in Silicon Valley and what it means for your finances. Aman has worked in the tech sector for almost as long as it’s been relevant. FromPayPal to eBay, Sonos, and more, Aman has been on the ground floor of some of the most promising tech companies, helping them operate with leaner teams while bringing in bigger revenues. And as an industry expert, Aman isn’t surprised or disappointed by the recent tech layoffs.

He touches on why these layoffs aren’t what most people think, how they could affect the overall economy, what CEOs need to know to survive this market, and what everyday investors should look at BEFORE buying tech stocks. Aman’s practical advice is CRUCIAL for anyone investing. And as the stock market becomes more and more tech-centered, knowing some of this information could help you make FAR more lucrative decisions on which companies you’re rooting for.

In This Episode We Cover

Tech layoffs in 2023 and why the number of employees being cut isn’t what it seems

Twitter’s “warning shot” that sent other CEOs into an efficiency-first mode

Work-from-home culture and whether or not a return to the office is happening

What to look for in a tech company that’s about to IPO and telltale signs of solid growth

Investing in public markets and why Warren Buffet’s super simple advice still applies

What business owners should know when trying to grow and scale their small businesses

And So Much More!
