Small Changes, Big Impact
Just because your career isn’t lucrative doesn’t mean you’re stuck living paycheck to paycheck.
Rob’s a federal employee working as an accountant. His paycheck has never been extravagant but he’s on track to retire by 40.
He and his wife Sara have been writing about how they’re doing it on Mustard Seed Money. Like the biblical reference, Rob wants to share how small changes can lead to big results.
They’re on today to discuss:
- why and how they first talked about money in their marriage
- finding ways to keep their monthly expenses (especially the big ones) low
- having fun along the journey
