How to Learn from Mistakes and Turn Your Life Around with Joel from FI180.com


Listen Later

Have you made a mistake in your financial life?

You're in good company! Today's guest is Joel from FI180. Joel and his wife made tons of mistakes with their finances - a huge wedding, a house bought at the height of the housing bubble, going out to eat all the time and unexplainable trips to Target. 

But one day, they saw the light and turned EVERYTHING around. Their spending went down and their savings went up, up and up! Joel was able to quit his super stressful software engineering job and have some time off to recover, something he couldn't have done if they were still spending every dollar that came in. 

You'll love their turn around story!

We also chat about...

-the milestones of FI
-differences between FI and work life
-what's going on with Gwen's rental property

He was an absolute delight to speak with! Enjoy this chat with Joel, and please subscribe to us in iTunes if you enjoyed it!
