1763: Why We Paid Off Our Mortgage by Julien Saunders of Rich And Regular on Debt Payoff & Debt-Free Lifestyle Jan 06, 2022

Show notes

Julien Saunders of Rich and Regular tells us why he paid off his mortgage

Episode 1763: Why We Paid Off Our Mortgage by Julien Saunders of Rich And Regular on Debt Payoff & Debt-Free Lifestyle

Julien and Kiersten started rich & REGULAR in 2017 after their stint in real estate investing led them to discover the F.I.R.E movement. At that point, they'd listened to their friends complain about doing everything right, and still not really "feeling" happy with the financial progress they'd made. Their blog became a place where they not only shared in their frustrations, but offered solutions to a richer and happier life. They could not have imagined that just a few years later, they would sign a book deal with the world's largest publisher, Penguin Random House. But that's not all. Their blog has afforded them opportunities to work with incredible brands, world-class media and into the fast-paced world of digital entrepreneurship.

Show notes

Courtney Carver of Be More With Less shares tips for how you can have enough money and things.

Episode 1757: 10 Ways You Can Have Enough Money and Stuff by Courtney Carver of Be More With Less on How to Spend Less Money

After decades of debt, discontent, and trying to do it all and have it all, a scary MS diagnosis stopped Courtney Carver in her tracks. She had to slow down, prioritize her health, and figure out what was really important in her life. She discovered what mattered most by getting rid of everything that didn’t matter at all. In the end it all came down to love and health.

She went from a busy, overwhelmed advertising director to spending 2-3 hours every morning taking care of herself, loving her work, and being present and engaged with the people she loves. Her family changed, too. They moved from wanting bigger closets, nicer furniture, and more stuff to downsizing into a 750 sq. ft apartment with no storage.

Courtney has written books, courses, and hundreds of articles to help you simplify your life and work so you can focus on what really matters.
