    Want a personalized financial independence plan that’ll get you closer to early retirement? Well, we’ve got just what you’re looking for! On this second annual “Financial Independence Day,” Mindy and Scott are sharing a new way to get you to financial freedom faster. With so many applications for our “Finance Friday” series, we decided to make a downloadable that allows you to do your own personal finance review AND build a faster path to FIRE!
    But before you start filling out your financial independence plan, listen to this episode. We review some common traps and pitfalls that have stopped our Finance Friday guests from achieving financial freedom. We’ll explain exactly what each net worth bracket should focus on, how to get through the saving and investing “grind” to FIRE, and the biggest mistake most people make that will STOP them from ever finding financial independence.

    I love Scott's breakdown of the Middle Class Trap. I woke up from this a few years back and was able to make the adjustments just in time. It certainly takes a bit of deprogramming but it's doable and worth it when you recognize you want something different. It's the road less traveled.

    I have notice a lot of people came over to the show have a big shovel. People with big shovels, it's more easier for them to catch up to FI. I hope to see more people with a lower income from $30k - $80k how they make a comeback to FI from their 40s, 50s or 60s.

      @@Tpres1420 I think that we will find that for most who do catch up to FI without a big shovel... find a way to get a bigger shovel.
      Many people start at $35K per year. But, few end their successful journey to FI there. The MEDIAN pay for someone with 10 years of workplace experience is $54K. Someone who is consciously attempting to become a millionaire has a predisposition to maximize earnings along the way and has a good chance to outpace that.
      A great way to think about it is this:
      If you accumulate a $1M portfolio in 10 years, or are on track to, that is like managing a $1M budget for a company, or $1M in resources.
      Someone capable of accumulating and managing $1M in capital is unlikely to be valued at $35K - $50K per year at their job. They get raises, or find other opportunities, like side hustles and other businesses that materialize for them. I cannot find quality people to manage $1M budgets at BiggerPockets for $35K per year, for example.
      So what inevitably happens is even when we talk to people who begin their journey with median or lower incomes, they almost never END a successful money journey with that median income. Then, they get called unrelatable, even when, in the context of any feasible catching up to FIRE journey, theirs is the logical, and likely in the context of that journey, median, outcome.

    I’m 55 from southeastern Ohio but worked overseas all my life. I have savings of $1,000,000 and I'm ready for retirement, only concerned about the soaring inflation. Is this enough to retire comfortably, or do I need some sort of money management?

      @CaroLewis-j8k 2 дня назад +2

      I would get money management just in case. You’re only 55. I think the average life execting in the US is 77.5 years, but many people live well into their 80s so that $1 million has to last you all of that and the unforeseen. $1m is a great start though. Good for you!

      I’m quite lucky exposed to personal finance at early age, started job 19, purchased first home 28. Going forward, got laid-off at 36 just after covid-outbreak, and at once hired an advisor with grit to help stay afloat. As of today, my portfolio has yielded over 300%, summing up $836k. Stay motivated friends

      Exactly, Mark. There are CFPs who can help create a personalized plan based on your risk tolerance and goals.
