Journey To Launch 102- How Dumpster-Diving and House Hacking is Fueling Charlie's Journey to Financial Freedom
I absolutely Iove bringing you ideas and stories that challenge your belief of what you think you can do and allows you to think outside the box. Charlie Pioli has a passion for environmental conservation and dumpster dives for a majority of his grocery needs. I was immediately intrigued by Charlie’s story and lifestyle which at first seemed extreme, but as you’ll learn when you listen to the episode, is a practical and smart way to save money and reduce food waste. Charlie even discusses how he is house hacking and using real estate investing as a way to reach his goals.If you think you should skip over this episode just from the title alone, I challenge you to give it a try. Even if dumpster diving isn’t for you, you will walk away with some actionable tips and inspiration for your journey.
