210: Finance Friday: Should I Leave Teaching to Pursue Greater Income?

210: Finance Friday: Should I Leave Teaching to Pursue Greater Income?

Teachers do a lot more than we give them credit for (as shown throughout the past year and a half), but sadly, they don’t get paid terribly high salaries. Today’s guest, Stephanie, is a music teacher for young children and is debating whether or not she should make a career change to up her income to higher levels. Stephanie has a good amount in savings and investments but wants to take on a duplex to house hack and save money on monthly housing costs. Scott and Mindy walk through the pros and cons of house hacking and answer questions about live in flips. The best part about Stephanie’s story is that she has the option to move anywhere in the United States. She has nothing holding her to New Jersey and may be keen to move out due to the high taxes she has to pay. With the combination of a career change and the potential to do a live in flip/house hack on the horizon, Stephanie has a lot of great (and broad) options to help her reach financial independence! In This Episode We Cover Changing careers to maximize financial independence goals Starting a side hustle so you can earn extra income Roth IRAs, 401(k)s, and Solo IRAs House hacking as a means to not only cut housing expenses but build wealth Who should (and shouldn’t) do a live in flip Should you pay off low-interest debt or invest?
