Learn how you can as a family get on on the path of financial freedom and independence!
Get on the Path to Financial Freedom
It’s almost the end of January, how are things going for you?
Over at our FB group, Thriving Families, I’ve been keeping an eye on some of the goals you’ve been sharing and I’m really impressed.
We some tackling debt, many mentioning their student loans. Meal prepping is also on the list. That’s a fantastic money saver and will help you tremendously with your health goals.
Quite a few talked about earning more, both through their regular 9-5 job as well as side hustles.
On the surface, these goals seem to go in different directions, but when we chat in the group and get into the whys behind the goals, I noticed a recurring theme.
Having more flexibility and security for our families.
And for many, that path includes reaching financial independence.
But when you’re deep in debt or just starting out, it can seem overwhelming and in some cases out of reach.
However, you can take steps now to get your finances in a great spot and open up more options for your family.

Millennials Money Mistakes and Wins
It seems people love to jump on millennials and how bad they are with their finances.
Today I want to talk to someone who is bucking the trend. Grant is the creator of Millennial Money. When he was out of college he only had a couple bucks in his bank account. He decided to do something about it, (including reading 300 personal finance books).
We’ll get into more of the details in the interview, but started saving at least 25% of what he made, started a business, and he invested. His efforts paid off and he became financial independent at the age of 30.
In this interview he shares three money mistakes he and other millennials make and offer some tips on how turn things around.
I hope you enjoy!
