[EXPERT] Can Buying a Vacation Home Make Your W2 Optional?
When COVID hit, I made three budgets: what would happen if I lost my job, what would happen if my husband lost his job, and what would happen if we both did. It was the first time I really understood how fragile a single stream of income can be—and how important it is to build something beyond it.
This week’s expert guests, Grace Gudenkauf and Amelia McGee, are the co-founders of Women Invest in Real Estate (WIIRE), a community, podcast and series of retreats. They teach women how to become W2 optional so others can avoid feeling the same way I did.
Tune in to learn:
-Why the traditional path we’ve been taught (think 9-to-5 job, 401k investments) isn’t the only way to approach life
-How certain beliefs are quietly holding us back
-How growing up in the Midwest shaped their mindset around money, work, and doing everything themselves
-Some tips and tricks on how to start thinking and operating like the CEO of your own business
