414: Nicole Lapin's Money Hacks to Rehab Your Finances & Say Goodbye to Bad Debt

Wish you had a few money hacks to help with things like getting out of debt, finding the right assets to invest in, and growing your nest egg? The average person may not even know where to start! Today’s guest is using her platform to help simplify money concepts and improve financial literacy at a time when it is sorely lacking.

Welcome back to another edition of the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Today, we’re joined by Nicole Lapin, founder of the Money News Network, host of Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin, and author of multiple New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling books, including Rich Bitch, Boss Bitch, Miss Independent, and Becoming Super Woman. Born into a first-generation American family, Nicole lacked financial literacy early on in life and was easily intimidated by financial concepts. Only after learning the language of money was she able to take control of her finances and pay off the consumer debt she had accumulated.

In this episode, Nicole spills some of the top money hacks she has learned over the past 20 years. Wherever you are in your financial journey—whether it’s neck-deep in consumer debt or well on your way towards achieving financial independence and retiring early—you won’t want to miss what Mindy, Scott, and Nicole have to share about investing in today’s climate, assessing your risk tolerance, and making the most out of your money!

In This Episode We Cover

Money hacks for investing and rehabbing your personal finances

Two methods of getting out (and staying out) of consumer debt

How to create a “spending” plan using the “three E’s”

Living below your means to fast-track your journey towards financial freedom

How to assess your risk tolerance and find the right assets to invest in

An alternative to financial independence, retire early (that could allow you to “retire” even sooner!)

And So Much More!
