193. Retirement For Entrepreneurs Series: This Wealth Advisor’s Investment Strategy To Grow A $15M Portfolio And Retire On $360K/Year May 08, 2023

Show notes

Last week, we explored real estate investing as a retirement vehicle and this week, our guest’s chosen retirement strategy is investing in a stock portfolio that will allow her to retire at age 60 with a $15 million portfolio that she can withdraw an annual income of $360,000/year from.

Kaitlyn Carlson is the founder & CEO of Theory Planning Partners, a boutique wealth creation firm for the top female entrepreneurs in the United States. Before launching Theory Planning Partners, Kaitlyn spent the majority of her career at UBS Financial Services, Inc., where she developed more than 300 financial plans for clients with assets ranging from $500,000 to $1 Billion.

I feel so lucky to be one of Kaitlyn’s Theory clients, where she is helping plan my own path to financial independence, with the goal to become work-optional by my early to mid-40s.

Today, Kaitlyn is getting vulnerable and walking us step by step through her and her husband’s personal investment strategy, laying out the exact dollar amounts for everything. Outside of our quarterly income reports we publish on the podcast, this is the most financially transparent + detailed episode we’ve ever recorded on the show. I highly recommend you break out your pen + paper or open a Google doc to take notes as you listen so you can fully process the insights Kaitlyn shares with us today.

192. Retirement For Entrepreneurs Series: Investing In Real Estate To Retire By 40 With $300K/Year May 01, 2023

Show notes

As entrepreneurs, we have the rare privilege of deciding when and how we retire. For many of us, retirement isn’t necessarily an age, but rather a milestone of financial independence where the income from assets outside of our business fully cover our lifestyle expenses, thus rendering work optional. “Desirement”, not “retirement” as today’s guest would call it.

In this first installment of our retirement series, we’re talking to Erinn Bridgman, a money management and mindset coach who helps female entrepreneurs not only design a profitable business, but generate personal wealth. Erinn reveals how she used $22,700 from her then-photography business to invest in her first real estate property, which she then snowballed to pay off $100K of student debt + build a real estate portfolio worth $7 million. Her current strategy puts her on a path to retire by 40 with an income of $300K/year, fully funded by her real estate empire.

We’re running through all the numbers, profit margins, and real estate investing tactics involved - get ready to take copious notes!
