Mind the Gap & Achieve Financial Independence Faster

As we wrap this year up, I’m going over the interviews we’ve had, pulling out threads that connect some of guests.

One huge thread I’ve heard repeated is that personal finance nugget:

Spend less than you earn.

With the couples who achieved big goals, they’ve honed in on building that gap between they they earned and what they spent.

It comes down to two strategies: frugality and going income.

Frugality and entrepreneurship are powerful tools when used together can build your family’s finances dramatically. Interestingly, the terms frugality and entrepreneurship are a bit misunderstood.

Hope you enjoy!

If you’re looking to retire sooner, please check out my interview with Liz, creator of Frugalwoods. She and her husband are on schedule to become financially independent next year and have already moved to their homestead.

The Joy and Challenges of Side Hustles

While there are plenty of people on the Internet talking about the magic of passive income and earning a ton of cash, I have a different take.

When I say side hustle, what I mean is an part-time income stream that’s based on a talent. It can be your knowledge like tutoring or consulting, or it can be a physical item like a book or product.

It can certainly be fun, but it’s work. My colleague Nick Loper agrees.

Financial Freedom With Side Hustles

While I’m a big believer of frugality, I also realize there are many circumstances where cutting back on expenses may not be viable. Earning more income may be the solution to your problems.

The concern, though, is about the time and effort involved to build up another stream of income. Most of us have plenty on our plates. This is where a side hustle can be a practical solution.

Nick Loper creator of Side Hustle Nation comes on the show to share how he made this transition.

He also explains and discusses:

the highs and lows of part-time entrepreneurship
why you need to diversify your side hustles
the productivity tools he uses to manage his business and finances
