    FIRE at 50: The 4-Year Journey That Made Early Retirement a Reality Nov 15, 2024
    Show notes

    Could a few years of aggressive saving put you in the fast lane for financial independence? Is the grind even worth it? Today’s guest was well on his way to a comfy retirement but had never thought about retiring early. Then he discovered the FIRE movement, and with just four years of all-out hustle, he was able to retire at fifty!

    Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! In 2020, Eric Reinholdt experienced a financial “awakening” that set him on a death march to FI and early retirement. For four years, he minimized his spending, maximized his savings, and threw every extra dollar at his investments. Today, he’s “chubby FI,” has a paid-off house, and is recently “retired”— working just ten hours per week on his own business while preparing to travel the world in 2025!

    But was the glamorous destination worth the grueling journey? Should Eric have started earlier or slowed down to reach his FI number? Tune in to hear about the major lifestyle changes he and his wife made to accelerate retirement, the different levers he pulled to grow his nest egg, and the steps you might need to take if you want to replicate his success!


    In This Episode We Cover

    How this entrepreneur reached “chubby FI” by the age of fifty

    When to slow down and enjoy the journey to financial independence

    Flexing your “spending muscle” while saving for an early retirement

    Why building your own business gives you a huge “buffer” for FIRE

    Why you need monthly financial check-ins with your significant other

    What Eric plans to do in retirement (and why he’s NOT giving up work entirely!)

    And So Much More!

    Do You Need Debt to Reach FIRE? How to Use Leverage to Build Wealth Nov 12, 2024
    Show notes

    Is paying off debt or investing (and potentially using more debt) the best way to reach FIRE? The average American has $104,215 in mortgages, student loans, credit cards, and other debt. Where do YOU stand? If the end goal is FIRE, you need a game plan for your debt, in which case this episode is for you!

    Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Not all debt is bad. When used responsibly, it can be a powerful tool that allows you to buy appreciating assets and hedge against inflation. Today, guest co-hosts Kyle Mast and Amanda Wolfe join our panel to share their thoughts on debt. We’ll share how much debt we each have (ranging from zero to millions), how our philosophies on debt have evolved, and how debt can ultimately help you reach FIRE.

    But that’s not all. We’ll also discuss the types of bad debt that could derail your FIRE journey and the investments you don’t want to be stuck with during an economic downturn. We’ll even get into the most important financial protection against debt risk—savings and reserves—and why these funds should grow proportionally to your debt!


    In This Episode We Cover

    Paying off debt versus investing (and which strategy is best for FIRE)

    Why well-leveraged debt is one of the best long-term hedges against inflation

    The types of debt that could propel you toward an early retirement

    “Bad” real estate investments you don’t want to be holding during a market downturn

    The most irresponsible uses of debt (that you should avoid at all costs!)

    Why you should always grow your savings and reserves in tandem with debt

    How much debt WE have (and how our opinions on debt have changed)

    And So Much More!

    How to Retire Early in Your 40s by Supercharging Your Savings Nov 08, 2024
    Show notes

    Yes, it’s possible to retire early, even if you’re just now diving into the FIRE movement. Early retirement could be within reach whether you’re in your twenties, thirties, forties, or fifties. Imagine having complete freedom in a decade or less: no office politics, no boss, and, best of all, no spreadsheets! That’s the life Arik Peterson built when he retired early at forty-four, leaving behind a demanding career in corporate investing.

    After reading Mr. Money Mustache’s unmatched FIRE blog, Arik drastically changed his saving and investing habits, increasing his savings rate to seventy percent and redirecting his money into simple, steady investments many overlook. Today, his life looks vastly different—he spends his days fishing, biking, creating art, and working on DIY projects instead of staring at a computer screen, crunching numbers.

    In this episode, Arik shares his complete strategy for reaching financial independence, why he’s skeptical of the 4% rule, his current investment choices, and how an unexpected layoff turned into his golden opportunity. Ready to ditch corporate America? Follow Arik’s plan!


    In This Episode We Cover

    Why you must increase your savings rate if you want to reach FIRE fast

    The simple, low-cost investment Arik has in his early retirement portfolio

    Why you don’t need to follow the 4% rule to finally quit your job and retire

    Making money in retirement and living off of side income streams

    Arik’s killer advice for Roth investing that could make you tax-free millions

    And So Much More!

    Finance Friday: Signs You’re Saving TOO Much for Retirement Nov 01, 2024
    Show notes

    Are you saving TOO much for retirement (or early retirement)? Could you retire years sooner than you think? Will retirement expenses be even less than what you spend now, allowing you to reach FIRE faster with a smaller nest egg? Today, we’re getting into that exact question as Finance Friday guest Ethan asks how he can ensure he’s on the right track for early retirement by age fifty-five. And if you’re like Ethan, you could retire RIGHT NOW…but should you?

    Ethan is spending a LOT of money every month. He’s got two kids in private school, extracurricular sports fees, pricey car payments, and a mortgage. The good news? He’s raking in cash at his high-paying tech job! His current expenses cost him nearly $20,000 per month, but this number could be cut in half (if not more) once his kids leave the house. This means that his FIRE number might be a fraction of what he thinks it has to be to retire early.

    Speaking of early retirement, is it wise to leave such a high-paying career to sit on the beach all day? Ethan has the skills and the energy to make a sizable income, so what should he do instead of full-time work once he reaches early retirement? Should he transition to part-time consulting, focus more on rental property investing, or buy a business?


    In This Episode We Cover

    Why your FIRE number may be WAY off from what you need to retire early

    The retirement expenses that disappear once your kids are out of the house

    Making money in retirement and whether buying a hands-off business is your best bet

    Planning for future weddings and how much you should set aside for your kid’s big day

    Limiting your taxes by qualifying for real estate professional status (REPS)

    Whether or not you’re keeping too much cash on hand (is the bank account interest worth it?)

    And So Much More!

    Reviewing Our FIRE Journeys, Timelines, and Single Biggest Regret Oct 29, 2024
    Show notes

    You can attack financial independence from one of two angles. You can create a strict timeline for achieving FIRE, or you can calculate your FIRE number and take your time with it. Which approach works best, and should you ever move the goalposts? Stay tuned to find out!

    Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Today, Scott and Mindy are reflecting on their journeys to financial freedom—how they started, set realistic objectives, and allowed those objectives to evolve. They’ll also share about the major “events” that propelled them toward their goals, the big lifestyle changes they have made since reaching financial independence, and the ONE thing they wish they had done differently!

    Whether you’re starting from zero or already on your way to FIRE, there are some personal finance fundamentals you’ve got to master: lowering your expenses and increasing your income. This combination will allow you to save more money, multiply your investments, and accelerate your FI timeline. But that’s not all. You’ll also hear about the job “trap” that keeps so many people from reaching FIRE, and why time (NOT money) is the resource we’re all actually chasing!


    In This Episode We Cover

    The crucial figure you need to pin down before setting your FI timeline

    Why time, not money, is the resource every FIRE-focused person really wants

    When to move the goalposts on your quest for financial independence

    The job “trap” that holds you back from FI (and how to get out of it!)

    The two-pronged strategy that will accelerate your path to early retirement

    Spending less and earning more (so that you have more money to invest)

    Scott and Mindy’s number one “regret” from their aggressive pursuit of FI

    Finance Friday: FI by 40? Make These Career and Investment Moves Now Oct 25, 2024
    Show notes

    Everyone wants to become “work-optional” at some point. Having enough money in investments and the bank would allow you to choose the job you love most, whether that’s running your own business, working part-time, or today’s guest, Travis’ dream, becoming a mountain biking guide. With a solid salary, dual income, and no plans for kids, he and his wife are on the fast track to FIRE, but can they get there by his goal of forty years old?

    Travis’ wife may have an option to get a significant salary bump, allowing them to travel the country while she works, and Travis stays making money from his computer. But, even this may not be enough to get them to the “work optional by forty” goal they had set out for themselves. Scott and Mindy believe they need a financial “oomph” to get them over the edge, but what’s the next best move?

    Should he stop his retirement account contributions to have more cash to invest for early retirement? Should he perform a live-in flip to make more money on the side while working his job? Would a side hustle or part-time job bridge the investing gap between where they are and where they need to be? If you’re stuck feeling like you can’t get to FI fast enough, this episode is for YOU!


    In This Episode We Cover

    How to fast-track your FIRE and become work optional in under ten years

    House hacking and why it’s one of the best ways to lower expenses and build wealth

    Live in flipping and how to turn your next home purchase into a money-making investment

    Whether you should stop investing or double down on your retirement accounts when shooting for early retirement

    Roth conversion ladders, HSAs (health savings accounts), and how to access retirement funds even earlier

    Increasing your income by job hopping and leveling up the skills that’ll make you more

    Fast-Track FI by “Gamifying” Your Finances and Making Your Own Luck Oct 22, 2024
    Show notes

    The combination of saving money and buying rentals is a recipe for reaching financial independence much faster than you thought possible. Just ask today’s guest, who started with tens of thousands of dollars in debt but was able to achieve FI in just a few years!

    Henry Washington is a real estate investor, author of Real Estate Deal Maker, and co-host of the On the Market podcast, but he doesn’t have your typical “rags-to-riches” money story. Despite an upper-middle-class upbringing and landing a six-figure job right out of college, Henry was a serial spender. Before he knew it, he had racked up $40,000 in credit card debt and was told by banks that he was unlendable. Horrified by what his family’s future would look like on its current trajectory, Henry was determined to get his finances in check. He caught the real estate bug, attended meetups and networking events, befriended other investors, and found his first deal!

    Henry went on to build and scale a real estate portfolio of over 140 units, and in this episode, he provides actionable advice that will help you break into real estate—whether you aspire to own a single rental property or twenty. Along the way, you’ll learn about “gamifying” your way to financial freedom, funding a down payment without money in the bank, and the recession-proof investing strategy Henry still uses today!


    In This Episode We Cover

    How Henry scaled his real estate portfolio to over 140 units in just seven years

    How “gamifying” your finances can turn you from a spender into a saver

    Why finding good deals is the key to a recession-proof investing strategy

    Getting a crash course in real estate investing through local meetups and networking

    Creative ways to come up with the down payment for an investment property

    The three phases of rental property investing that lead to generational wealth

    Just a short while back, Marisa Mae was caught in the paycheck-to-paycheck trap, her credit cards stretched to their limits with no emergency savings to speak of, all while wrestling with constant financial stress. Today, she’s on a clear path to retire as a millionaire. Her secret? Mastering the art of debt repayment without succumbing to severe frugality. Marisa managed to eliminate five-figure consumer debt, not by cutting out her cherished coffee runs, but by smart financial planning. Isn’t that supposed to be a big FIRE faux pas?

    Now, Marisa is ready to show others that achieving financial freedom, eradicating debt, and even starting to invest can all happen WITHOUT cutting everything enjoyable out of your life. If you’re battling to escape bad debt, Marisa’s approach could liberate you faster than you think—even if you struggle to find financial balance.

    Should You Keep or Sell Your House? Use This Tool to Find Out in Minutes Oct 15, 2024
    Show notes

    Should you sell your house or keep it as a rental property in 2024? What you do with your home today could create a million-dollar swing in your portfolio ten, twenty, or thirty years from now. Fortunately, we’ve developed a powerful new tool to help you make the best decision for your financial future!

    Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! If you refinanced your mortgage around 2021, chances are you’re sitting on a low interest rate the likes of which we’re unlikely to see again. The recent rise in rates and home prices has created a “lock-in effect,” where millions of homeowners are disincentivized to sell. But does it make sense to sell if you can roll your home equity into another wealth-building asset? Could you convert your house into a rental and create hundreds of dollars in monthly cash flow?

    Today, we’re giving you a step-by-step walkthrough of our new “Keep or Sell Your Home” worksheet. We’ll compare four outcomes—selling your home to buy another property, selling your property and investing in stocks, keeping the property and hiring a property manager, and keeping the property and becoming a landlord. Along the way, we’ll use several examples of homeowners so that you can get an idea of where you might stand!

    The crucial question you should ask before keeping or selling your home

    How ONE decision can impact your future by hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more!)

    And So Much More!
