PoFU Podcast

The celebration of our 10th episode features our good friends from the Eclipse on Tap Podcast. Matt Deighton, David Williams, and Nathan Williams join us in the studio for discussions on their definition of the PoFU and their personal financial goals.  

In this episode we break down some write-in questions from one of our listeners about car leasing and 529 college savings plans. 

In this episode we cover an array of topics. After and handful of housekeeping items we introduce our first sponsor, Brendan O'Driscoll and Treadstone Funding. We reiterate our stance on the Stock Market "casino" and, lastly, dive into a story from Ben's personal experience that leads into discussion of entitlement, accountability,  and ownership. 

In this episode of the PoFU Podcast, Jeremiah presents yet another valuable case study brought to us by one of our loyal listeners.  We discuss the concept of house hacking where purchasing a multi-unit investment property and living in one of the units affords the opportunity to greatly reduce your housing costs, in some cases bringing your housing costs down to zero! This reduction in living expenses frees up cash to invest...or roll into another house hack, and another one, and another one...

In this episode we present our first case study: taking the surplus savings from a mortgage refinance and turning that into substantial cash flow and equity.  Based on a very fictitious friend, Fred Haise, this episode provides a conservative and realistic path to growing your net worth, creating passive cash flow, becoming your own banker, and using smart leverage ... all with zero impact to your expense budget.

After a brief, COVID-induced recording hiatus, Ben and Jeremy get back in the lab at Studio Six-Fo' to provide a blueprint for setting a solid financial foundation. This episode dedicates a lot of time and discussion to Dave Ramsey and his 7 baby steps. We also cover the concept of debt leverage to accelerate wealth-building and debate the virtues of a paid-off house.

Recorded in late January 2021

In this episode (recorded in late December 2020) Ben & Jeremy talk Christmas, the year of Covid, and highlight the positive side of the year that was 2020. Goal setting and new years resolutions are the hot topic and we say goodbye to 2020 and look forward to tackling 2021.

In this episode of the PoFU Podcast, we learn about the life and times of both hosts, specifically the inspirations and motivations that have propelled them on their PoFU journeys.

Special shout out in this episode to the boys at @fortunebuilders for their world class real estate education and launchpad of syndication investing.

In this episode Jeremy leads us off with a poignant statement from the PoFU credo... "A wise man's life is based on F-you". We discuss the money mindset, excuses, and accountability. We also begin to define the mathematical formula for how we get to the PoFU.

We mention a special shout out to our friends at the Eclipse on Tap Podcast @eclipseontap (www.eclipseontap.space) for inspiring us within our own project. Also, making her very brief PoFU debut is Jeremy's wife, Shay Bug!

On this very first episode we introduce the PoFU, it's inspiration, and set the tone for the PoFU mindset. We discuss the importance of financial strength, passive income, the concept of retiring before the standard age of 62, and living your life to the fullest. 

Recorded live from Studio Six-Fo' in Grand Rapids, MI.
