Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a potentially life-altering event to step back and reevaluate your life. For our guest Joel, it was a potentially fatal car crash that his wife was involved in. Luckily she was okay! But it was certainly a wake-up call. After much reflection, they figured out what they truly valued and cut down their monthly expenses by a whopping 70%... Yes, 70%! These changes allowed them to reach financial independence just 4 years later. Our favorite quote was “My worst-case scenario, is everyone else’s everyday scenario”.

What is that one thing you know would make you happy? The problem with that answer, is that often what we know turns out not to be true. We often think we need more (time, things, square footage, vacations, etc). In reality, what we need to be happy is already within reach, the real problem is our mindset or confusion of priorities. Cody and Justin reflect on travels to places where people have so much less material wealth but so much more happiness. They also cover the mental traps around chasing more they've fallen victim to. The warning to the audience is to ensure you don't delay happiness while on your journey to financial independence. Delaying gratification of a purchase may be necessary but you have enough today to be happy...so don't delay your happiness. We're all so incredibly adaptable in both a positive and negative way. Be confident and know that you can make it through life regardless of how abundant your possessions are, but also be careful not to adapt to luxuries so that they no longer become special or meaningful.

Can you really pursue financial independence at a young age and still live an exciting life? Frivolous hobbies have to take a back seat right? Sean and Alex are living proof that you can indeed build a life full in both riches of money and experience. Justin got introduced to Sean and Alex when they reached out for some financial coaching. It was quickly obvious that this couple had accomplished a ton already and had a massive amount of potential going forward. They had already mastered the hardest part to teach. The mentality. Alex lived in a sailboat at one point, and Sean did some serious house hacking when he rented out rooms in an 8-bedroom house. It's another great example of how there is no blueprint, you just have to be creative and seek value that aligns with your values. They overcame some huge student loan debts, have amassed a $750k net worth, and will be financially independent in months! Keep in mind they did all this while traveling the world, owning a plane, flying to every state in the country, skiing, running marathons... Really too much to capture. They have packed in more adventure than about any couple I know and are right on track for an early retirement. We hope you enjoyed us showcasing a story of people still on the journey and will be inspired by their amazing yet repeatable path.

We're money experts and would never fall for a financial trap right? Not exactly... Over the course of our lives, we've made some pretty bad money moves. It is scary to think about how much more money we could have had at age 65 if we hadn't blown that money. But we're all human, and we all make mistakes. And that's really what we want you to take away today. Understand that making mistakes is part of the journey, the important part is that you learn from them. What were some of these mistakes? Expensive cars that wiped out savings Major percentages of net worth wasted on a single volatile stock Whole life insurance policy Thinking you've outsmarted the market More If we really examine these, most come down to emotions. Getting sucked into the excitement of getting rich. In reality, the math to financial independence is fairly simple, the hard part is staying the course. Make a plan, and stick to it, regardless of the hype cycle and you'll be rich one day. Thank you all for listening and may this episode help you on your path to a financially independent future.
