171: Sell Your Stuff to Pay Off Debt by Courtney Carver of Be More With Less Oct 24, 2016

Show notes

Courtney Carver of Be More With Less shares the best way to sell your stuff to pay off your debts.

Episode 171: Sell Your Stuff to Pay Off Debt by Courtney Carver of Be More With Less (Financial Independence).

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.

170: How to Tell When the Stock Market is on Sale by Mr. Money Mustache Oct 21, 2016

Show notes

Mr. Money Mustache shares exactly how he tells when it's prime time to invest in the stock market.

Episode 170: How to Tell When the Stock Market is on Sale by Mr. Money Mustache (Investing Success).

Mr. Money Mustache is a thirty-something retiree who now writes about how we can all live a frugal, yet awesome, life of leisure.
He and his wife studied engineering and computer science in Canada, then worked in standard tech-industry cubicle jobs in various locations throughout the late ’90s and early 2000s.
Then they retired from real work way back in 2005 in order to start a family. This was achieved not through luck or amazing skill, but simply by living a lifestyle about 50% less expensive than most of their peers and investing the surplus in very boring conservative Vanguard index funds and a rental house or two.
