What’s holding you back from chasing your dreams? Fear, time or money? Or maybe all three? Today we talk to Rachel Richards as she shares her journey to financial independence. The fear of not having enough money propelled her search for passive income. She also explains the trade-off between time and money and how it evolved over time in her journey. She now has an income real estate portfolio with her husband that generates enough passive income to support their living expenses.
We’ll also discuss a piece from MSN on what to think about when quitting your job. There’s more to think about than just the paycheck and some company benefits might be worth more than you realized. We’ll also throw out the Haven Life line to Curtis and answer his question regarding his company pension plan. And we can’t forget about Doug’s toy trivia.
Enjoy!
