Today’s guest is Jamila Souffrant. Jamila is the founder of the Journey to Launch blog and podcast where she shares what she is doing to work towards financial independence. She is still working in corporate America right now but is well on her way to making that leap.

Today Jamila will share with us more about how she was able to purchase her first property right out of college and how she and her husband have managed to save around $85k a year for the past couple years.

In This Episode We Discuss:

• What she learned being raised by a mother that worked hard to bring her to America and provide a better life for her.
• How much the lack of money really matters.
• The importance of being resourceful instead of focusing on your resources.
• Why you need to create your own definition of financial independence.

The Word of the Day: Financial Independence

Jamila’s story centers around working towards Financial Independence. I love the way she described that financial independence doesn’t mean that you never work again. It just means that you don’t have to depend on that paycheck or job in order to live.

It gives you the freedom to choose what you want to do in your life. And, it doesn’t look the same to everyone. Your goals might not be the same goals that Jamila has, or that i have, or that your neighbor has. It’s important that you determine what this would look like to you.
