That was only for rich people, right?Chelsey quickly discovered that wasn’t true and dove into the REI world by educating herself using one of our favorite methods, listening to podcasts! After finally deciding to make the leap and start her REI journey, she partnered with relatives and also found herself attending a WIIRE Retreat where she even helped a fellow attendee purchase a house!In this episode, Chelsey shares all of the juicy details on her journey and lessons she learned along the way.
