I’m particularly excited about today’s podcast because it is a revisit episode with Bradie and Paul. The elevator pitch for them is that they felt they were drowning in debt just seven short years ago, and now they have just completed their first year of early retirement! Today, I’m really happy to give you an update on a story that keeps getting better over time.
It’s what you DO with an inheritance that counts. Will chose to pay off debt and invest. His biggest financial triumph, he said, has been the fact that he took an interest in working out how to grow wealth, he took the time to educate himself, and then he actually took action. Now married and living in their own home in Auckland, this 31-year-old couple is still well on their way to financial freedom.
There were many points during Ella’s 40 plus years that her gut instinct told her to make a few changes to the way her family handled money. 2020 has been a huge time of change and these changes all stemmed from her wanting to be able to financially help her kids and once she worked out that she needed to be in a strong financial position herself in order to do this, the rest is rapidly falling into place.
In this final podcast of this series, I’m doing a recap of two people that I’ve spoken with earlier. Firstly Bret from episode #20, a guy who had gone from being a super consumer to someone who is finally in control of money. And Lucas from episode #28 who last time we met was staring down the barrel of a $1.2 million dollar mortgage. Both have come an extremely long way in a very short space of time.
What you pay attention to gets done and Kate worked this out from an early age. There is little that will keep her from achieving her goals.
Tom’s story gives a fascinating look at the rocky ride of a share investor, a life well lived and a net worth that reflects that it all worked out OK in the end.
Alison and Tom are parents to four children under the age of four. With a house build on the cards, a tight budget and a single income, we hear how this family of six manage to not just survive but thrive.
Three kids and an almost paid for house? It sounds like an impossible dream but I’m pleased to tell you it is a reality for this Wellington couple.
Simon knows where he is at financially and more importantly he knows what kind of life he wants to live today and into the future.
Bret has spent the last year and a half going from super consumer to super saver. He used to use money to buy endless stuff, but now he is using it as a currency to buy back his time.
A holiday is a great opportunity to clear your head and make future plans. Nellie decided that if you are going to make a plan to completely change your financial life then you might as well start right now.
At just 23, Callum has a net worth that would make others stand up and notice and a heap of plans for the future where he takes every opportunity to grow his skills, invest carefully and spend mindfully.
