MONEY JOURNEYS

In this episode, we hear from Jess, a single 52-year-old woman who reached out to me in early 2022 when she sent me a lovely email telling me she had been using my blog and podcast, plus The Barefoot Investor, to learn more about money to help her keep on track with some long-term money goals.

MONEY JOURNEYS

Through luck and good timing, 29-year-old Dylan found himself buying his first property, an empty section, aged just 21, and then one thing led to another; he stumbled upon a cracking good deal, paying just $18,000 for a second section. Today I will share not only how he purchased property but the numbers behind it, the lucky breaks he has had and the fact that since he learned about FIRE, he is now diversifying by investing in KiwiSaver and ETF share investments. This late 20-year-old is on an excellent trajectory for a great financial future.
