Want a personalized financial independence plan that’ll get you closer to early retirement? Well, we’ve got just what you’re looking for! On this second annual “Financial Independence Day,” Mindy and Scott are sharing a new way to get you to financial freedom faster. With so many applications for our “Finance Friday” series, we decided to make a downloadable that allows you to do your own personal finance review AND build a faster path to FIRE!
But before you start filling out your financial independence plan, listen to this episode. We review some common traps and pitfalls that have stopped our Finance Friday guests from achieving financial freedom. We’ll explain exactly what each net worth bracket should focus on, how to get through the saving and investing “grind” to FIRE, and the biggest mistake most people make that will STOP them from ever finding financial independence.
