Episode notes

The road to Financial Independence is one that is full of different variables and it can sometimes bring uncertainty. Let’s be honest–finding the right balance between budgeting, saving, and investing can be a little overwhelming. With so much information floating around, I am super excited to be able to answer several of your questions about retirement, investments, and all things personal finance.

In this Q&A Episode, I give insight into:

How do employer contributions for 401K work?
How do you get over the fear of action or the fear of getting it all wrong?
When is the right time to get a financial advisor? Building off this, how do you evaluate the value of "do it yourself" versus hiring a professional?
How do I break the cycle of spending non-budgeted money? How to incorporate family expenses into your budget when you are trying to save but also provide experiences? Ex. Scouts, swimming, ballet, gym, etc.
Is it possible to achieve FIRE by 57-60 if you’re behind in retirement savings in your mid-40s?
What things should you consider before purchasing a home?
How do you cut down on expenses with a fixed income?
