In this episode, we're discussing taking steps to build your best financial life. And my guest knows a thing or two about that.

J.D. Roth is an accidental personal-finance expert. For many years, he was a typical American consumer and more than $35,000 in debt to show for it. In 2006, he started writing at GetRichSlowly.org in an effort to document his progress as he dug out of debt and learned to build wealth. Today, he's debt-free. J.D. is dedicated to helping others master their money -- and their lives. And he hopes one day to meet Taylor Swift.

In this show, J.D. and I talk about

• What living your best financial life looks like
• Steps people should take to get out of debt and build wealth
• Steps you can take to start investing when you're scared

Plus a whole bunch more. I really enjoyed my discussion with J.D. and how open he was with his advice and thoughts.

Today's game time is my favorite. It was fun to have a game that matches the guest perfectly. I can't wait for everyone to hear the results!
