Fire Drill

Taking a Chance | Matt from Distilled Dollar


Listen Later

Matt and his wife went from living paycheck to paycheck to saving 60% of their income in just a few short years! They did this through a combination of prioritizing debt payoff, increasing income from career hacking and house hacking, and by lowering their expenses. 

They saved over $50k the last 2 years, which allowed them to take a leap of faith and quit their W-2 jobs to be entrepreneurs. Matt is now working as a start-up consultant and making bank!

You'll love Matt's story and the inspiration he passes on.

how Matt got started in consulting
why Matt is moving to Hawaii (as if he needs a reason...)
