This show is for 20-somethings who want to expedite their journey to financial independence. Have you ever asked yourself, “If money wasn’t an issue, what would I do with my life?” If not, think about it because you’ll need an answer sooner than you think, but my guess is, you have. You’ve thought about an alternative career path, starting your own business, or spending more time developing your hobbies but the major factor holding you back is money. I want to solve that problem for you. On the show, we’ll answer questions like: *What are the best investment strategies for early retirement? *How much money do I need to retire early? *How do I negotiate a higher salary or raise at my current job? *What are some profitable side hustle ideas I can start today? *What are the best strategies for budgeting and managing my money? *What frugal life hacks can make everyday purchases more affordable? *How can I withdraw funds from retirement accounts penalty-free before the traditional retirement age? *What are some long-term strategies for building wealth and financial security?
