234: Finance Friday: From “We Can’t Retire” To Retiring Early in 5 Years

A rock-solid financial position consists of a few things: budgeting, expense tracking, living below your means, and making extra income. Once those are accomplished, you’re on track to start investing heavily and financial independence is in sight. This is exactly the position Lynsey (mother to Mindy’s pool boy) is in. Lynsey and her husband bring in a moderate salary from his job and her businesses of jewelry making, relationship counseling, and their garage and basement house hack. For a long time, Lynsey assumed she would never be able to retire, but as her income has grown she’s realized that she not only can retire but retire early. Lynsey has a few key ways she could increase her business revenue: outsourcing, marketing, and scaling. Her husband also has a strong suspicion he’s underpaid, meaning a boost in income could be one ask away for him. The couple also wants to invest in more short-term rentals or buy another house hack property. But, of all the options they’re presented with, which one will push the needle? In This Episode We Cover Creating a “hype folder” so you can painlessly ask for a raise Shopping the sales and feeding a family of five for $700 per month Creative house hacking by renting out basements, garages, and other dwelling areas Using a self-directed 401(k) to invest in real estate and grow retirement savings What to do with a large amount of cash while you’re waiting to invest?
