We’re continuing the Worth Listening Millionaire Series! Over the next couple of months, Worth Listening host and Certified Financial Planner Lauryn Wiliams, will be interviewing millionaires on the podcast so we can hear their money memoirs and what they did to reach that coveted millionaire status.

Next up in the series is Steven Stack, Financial Coach & CFEI, speaker and author of the book Simple Money Talks.  Steven became a debt free millionaire when he was just 31 years old. Through a combination of of smart money management and investing, primarily through the stock market and real estate, Steven set out to become “retireable” by the age of 45.

And before you jump into thinking this was only able to happen for him because he is a financial coach, that’s not where his journey started. 

In This Episode We Discuss:

• The building blocks he learned at an early age that set him on the right path
• Why his dream school was the one he could reasonably afford and how he graduated with money in the bank instead of student loans
• The Denzel Washington movie quote that got him investing in real estate
• How and why he started maxing out his retirement savings when he first started working
• The importance of connecting with people and learning from others
• Why passive income isn’t really passive and what the narrative should be instead
• How he paid off his mortgage in 3 years
• The importance of understanding how each party in a deal makes money before getting involved
• How he got started in real estate investing  
• Why the most important consideration when buying a house isn’t how much you are approved for
• The difference that focusing on increasing your income can make in your finances
• The importance of not upgrading your lifestyle when your income increases
