Number 1: 260: Finance Friday: How to Hit $10M Net Worth in 10 Years (Or Less)
Stocks vs. real estate is a regular feud among many financially savvy forums on the internet. While some investors love the passive aspect of stocks, other investors love the tax savings and flexibility of real estate. Regardless of your preferred asset, it’s better to stick your hard-earned money in something that makes money for you, instead of spending it or letting it sit. Our guest today, Madison, is having trouble deciding which asset class she and her husband are best suited for. They have high-income jobs, a great net worth for their age, and just moved from the expensive San Francisco Bay Area to far more reasonable Texas. They’ll have a lot more money to stash away without the high rent, gas prices, or child care they had in California. But neither Madison nor her husband have plans to retire early, so should they even plan for early retirement? Scott and Mindy walk Madison through her multiple different investing options, along with giving her the structure to formulate a three, five, and ten-year plan for wealth building and financial freedom. We may hear back from Madison very soon on the progress she’s made! In This Episode We Cover Why relocating to another state can be a massive savings lever Understanding when you want to retire and how your assets play a part in retirement Putting in your “500 hours” to any asset you truly have an interest in Turning your primary residence into a rental property after you upgrade Stock investing vs. real estate and the pros and cons of both Reducing your spending so you can save (and invest) much more And So Much More!

Number 2: 264: Finance Friday: Passive Income, Syndications, Real Estate, and Retirement
“Can I retire yet?” If you’re today’s guest Jenn, then the short answer is a resounding “yes”. And if you aren’t Jenn, you’ll probably want to be in her position upon retirement. Jenn has a lot of income options: a military pension from her spouse, a great full-time income, real estate syndication cash flow, and a LOT of assets. Jenn’s net worth has reached the height of around $4 million, with more than a million alone in retirement accounts. If Jenn is so set, why is she coming on the Money Podcast to talk with Scott and Mindy? Well, Jenn has a pretty large amount of expenses: somewhere in the ballpark of nine thousand dollars a month. She wants to know if she has enough passive income and investable assets to continue living life the way that she sees fit. Her family will also be moving to Europe for the next year or so, making it even more crucial that she has enough to enjoy traveling. This show talks about some pretty high-level concepts specifically around real estate equity and syndications. Even if you’re not an accredited investor, this information will be worth its weight in gold to you as you scale your income and net worth. Soon, you could be in a position just like Jenn! In This Episode We Cover Military pensions and how to value them for retirement Spending less than you earn and joint vs. separate bank accounts for couples Building (and then selling off) a high-value real estate portfolio Investing in real estate syndications and the tax benefits that come with it How to avoid “one more year” syndrome when thinking about retirement Maximizing your portfolio’s income and calculating your return-on-time And So Much More!

Number 3: 263: Becoming Debt-Free and Generating $320,000/Year from Simple Side Hustles w/Jannese Torres-Rodriguez
Most people assume wealth is built from a singular source, but the most successful people have multiple streams of income. 2020 was the year of the side hustle. People started to find ways to monetize their hobbies, create services, and capitalize on their talents. While some people are just now catching on, today’s guest, Jannese Torres-Rodriguez, was ahead of the curve. It all began with a food blog she started for fun that has turned into passive income for her $320,000 salary composed solely from her various “side hustles”. Before the start of her money journey, Jannese was on the traditional path to what most would consider the ideal type of success. She not only graduated from college but got her master's in pharmaceuticals and landed a job that led to her dream, a six-figure salary. Despite this, she was still unhappy and soon realized she was unaligned with the power of money. Over time, she made several lifestyle changes and started learning about financial independence. Using what she learned, Jannese finished paying off her $57,000 student loans and became debt-free in February of 2020. After 5+ years of accruing income from her food blog, Jannese discovered she could make her side hustles a full-time business and finally be fulfilled by the work she was doing. She began a podcast about financial independence that aims to help people of color learn more about financial freedom. She also does virtual workshops, digital courses, and brand partnerships as well as several other services that contribute to her salary. Jannese is a perfect example that you don’t have to give up what you love to make money, you just have to capitalize on it. In This Episode We Cover How to find financial independence, even if you’re in a lot of debt How to minimize excessive spending while still enjoying your money Becoming a full-time entrepreneur and managing the struggles of being self-employed Outsourcing work and its importance especially when you’re stretched thin Dealing with Imposter Syndrome and overcoming shyness The value of diversifying your income and why it’s becoming more popular Finding your niche target market, even if you don’t think you have one And So Much More!

Number 4: 261: Stop Taking Money So Seriously w/ Joe Saul-Sehy & Emily Guy Birken
Building wealth takes decades with some serious hard work and many, many mistakes along the way. The problem? Most financial independence chasers see themselves as having to be perfectionists. Every investment must be perfect, every dollar spent housed within a budget, and at no time can money become something fun or playful. Joe Saul-Sehy and Emily Guy Birken rightfully see this type of “serious money attitude” as a mistake that should be avoided at all costs. Every financial guru, expert, or leader in the field has made money mistakes, stressed about money, and finally overcame to accomplish greatness. This is exactly what Joe and Emily want you to accomplish through their new book Stacked: Your Super-Serious Guide to Modern Money Management. Joe and Emily threw out the old-fashioned mentality about money having to be a serious subject. Instead, they littered their new book with humorous anecdotes, financial innuendo, and lessons that will allow you, your child, your spouse, or your best friend to succeed. If you’re tired of stressing about money and want to start stacking it instead, preorder the new book today! In This Episode We Cover Why most personal finance books tend to miss the mark on being entertaining and informative Risk management and how it goes far beyond simply buying insurance The importance of having a financial plan in place NOW before disaster strikes 401ks vs. Roth IRAs and the future tax implications of retirement accounts Tax brackets and the simplicity of calculating yours Why Joe needed to “fire” his own mother from working on his book And So Much More!

Number 5: 262: Prenups, Projects, Prolific Spending, and Planning for 2022 w/ Carl & Mindy Jensen
Mindy may seem like a financial superhero to most listeners of the Money Podcast, but she’s nothing without her financial education inspiring partner, Carl Jensen. Carl is known quite well around the personal finance community as co-host of the Mile High FI podcast and writer over at 1500days.com. Carl and Mindy are just closing in on their twentieth anniversary, so there’s no better occasion to have them both on the show than right now! Surprisingly, Carl and Mindy didn’t talk about money for a significant time once they started dating. Mindy credits her faith in Carl’s money skills by how he acted more than how he spoke. Carl was driving around a used car, he lived in a house he inherited from his grandmother, and he used a coupon on their first date (smart move, Carl). Now as a financial and romantic powerhouse, they both share thoughts on prenuptial agreements, protecting your wealth, 401k investing, and questions to ask a potential partner. Whether you’re single, dating, married, or a money-hoarding hermit, this episode sheds light on twenty years worth of money lessons learned so you can live a happier, more FI-focused life! In This Episode We Cover When a prenup is worth having and whether or not it will protect your wealth The telltale “context clues” of dating someone who has a frugal mindset Frontloading your retirement accounts so you can build wealth faster The importance of tracking your expenses and regularly updating your FI number Margin loans and getting low-interest debt on your stock portfolio When to start talking about money with a potential partner And So Much More!
