Being part of a cult isn’t something you’d normally want to flaunt, but if you’re part of the FIRE community, today’s guest leads a “cult” that you’d love to be in, because you value saving money, finding your “why” in life, and seeking financial independence. Even if you aren’t part of the FIRE community, you’ll recognize today’s guest. Pete Adeney, aka Mr. Money Mustache, sat down with Joe to talk about family money values growing up, multiple income streams, real estate and the current stock market. Pete shares how the blog started and shares some of his recent posts as well.
In our headline segment, we dive into online security. How secure are your passwords, especially for financial accounts? ‘Password’ is still one of the most common passwords and we share some of the other top passwords according to one list. The guys share tips to keeping your accounts secure and share one scary story of a 401k hacker. Then we answer Lynn’s question about opening a 529 for herself and Doug will share his trivia.
Enjoy!
