The Pillars of FI: Designing the Life You Want

I’m getting into that section where I’m getting a little bit further out, but which, perfect world I would not do. Then the most recent one I purchased, it was the first one that I didn’t actually live in, is about 10 minutes away. If I’m buying the deal and I’m getting good positive cash flow, and I think it’s going to appreciate well- this nine-plex is one block from a suburban downtown area. This nine-plex, they’re asking $750,000, and I think I can get gross rent, $100,000 a year, so that’s crushing 1% rule for me. I want the person selling it to be asking less than it’s worth. It sounds like you’re taking a smart balance of the two for your local market.

Definitely, you learn that over time as you’re more involved in this and less involved in that. I’ll call people back because if you can call people back, you’ll have a business. So give me a roof problem, let me have better tenants, and make a little bit less money and I’m going to be okay with that.

• I mean literally, I have never seen people transform their lives like they have.
• I think my next venture, I’d like it actually to be a multifamily house.
• That’s when I think about, ‘Oh, that’s when the bug got started,’ and all that.
• I started cutting down expenses and looking for ways to, okay, how can I make more money, progress my career, get a promotion.

No, Taxes Won’t Derail Your FIRE: Here’s What You’ll Really Pay in Retirement

I do tell this one a lot. How can you tell if you’re talking to an extroverted engineer? I don’t know if I can say a landlord story in my jokes section? Now, you’re a party animal. I don’t go to any parties.

I’ve got the big, red beard and everything so people don’t always know how to take you in a position like this. So we were at the position in August of ’16 where worst case, if I had to do a little bit of outside work, I could pay the bills. I’m a little nervous and jittery, so it took me a little bit of time. But if we scale back our lifestyle just a little bit, we would be stable. And again, we had built a lifestyle where we were able to stay on our feet and keep going for lots of hours every day. So we had a pretty level—we hadn’t bumped our lifestyle that much but we did cut some things out like, we’re going to cut back.

• Work your way up along the way and I know some people, it is tough.
• We do have a few flabs up in Michigan but again, it’s one of those things like, I’m not really interested in something weird.
• So, she went in and talked to her employer and before this, which she found out afterward, they have never granted a part-time working situation to anybody at that company before, and it’s a pretty large company.

A lot people don’t even know what folk is. A lot of people when I meet them, I’m always asking about money, like, ‘What’s your money story? At this point in my life, I’m probably earning a little bit more, probably a lot more. I asked this question one time of a bunch of people- did you talk about money before you got married? I don’t think I’m like a brutal dictatorship or anything like that, with money in this house. ‘Bend her life to my rules.’ I don’t think it’s quite like that.

In the beginning it was just debt freedom, and then the concept of financial independence kind of came in later in our lives. We made how is direct cost margin calculated some good money, probably about a little over six-figures together, but we weren’t that great at sort of managing it and holding onto it. Let’s start from the beginning. For a 30-day unrestricted free trial, go to freshbooks.com/bpmoney and enter BiggerPockets Money in the ‘how did you about us’ section.

Don’t buy a backhoe on payments. I did not take it on payments, so it was a cash purchase. So yeah, I had to go out and get the backhoe. We don’t have any animals yet. So that’s our new little treat.

A lot of times, your tax rate will go drastically down. A few states charge state tax but a lot of states don’t. So I think really, just sitting down—for us, it’s Sunday morning and saying, all right, what are the two meals we’re going to cook this week? Just almost immediately, that little bit of intentionality will cut your grocery bill by 20% and then if that’s without effort, you could probably slash another 20-30% with a little bit of effort. You may not realize it but the goal is for you to walk out with 20 things that you didn’t realize that you needed and that’s reflected on your receipt. So if you do want to add some more, let me know which ones you want to spend a little bit of extra time on.

So when you’ve got—now, it’s down to 15 years or whatever. Again, we’re a vacation community so things are really different. But we started looking around. We did put turbotax live full that second story on but it took us a long time to actually decide to move from that place. So we didn’t sell that one right away.

So, this is a repeatable path, I think, for many people to follow by listening to the story and moving towards it, and it’s so simple and he makes it sound so easy. It is simply not spending as much money as you’re earning. Like I said, the number two question that I get is how can families, you know, start down this path to financial independence, and creating legacy wealth is a really big part of that.

That’s pretty good foundation from which to launch this career, an aggressive pursuit of financial freedom. You’re graduating with a very limited amount of debt, and in a pretty good position from which to start your career. I was able to pay that off in just a few years after school. Then I moved back in state, because we had a state scholarship program for people that had a B average or higher. I had a lot of scholarship, so I only racked up about 13 grand in student loan debt. I still think I would recommend a Corolla, should be the starter car for almost everyone these days.

I pay money for beer that people probably think is exorbitant. For the longest time even as I was starting to think more positively about money, I just don’t want to either not buy anything, or get the cheapest deal possible. I’ve tried to order my life in such a way that I’m secure with money, and that I actually love my job, and I love the way my life looks on normal basis. This change in mindset is what I think a lot of people that- by the way, that fear does instill I think a good set of habits, in terms of being able to save money.

But I want to make sure—again, being well off or arrived or whatever you want to say, we can afford a lot of stuff. In college, I studied fashion design and we don’t talk about Newton there. I didn’t know it was his first law. It’s almost like it’s doing it on its own.
