Everyone tells you you’ll need millions to retire, let alone retire early. You hear it all over mainstream financial media, “You need FIVE million dollars” or “Three million dollars is enough, but you have to be frugal!” Even having half a million dollars in investments seems like a lofty goal for most Americans. Are these financial “experts” just out of touch with the everyday person? And if so, is there a way to retire with less than a million dollars? Surprisingly, yes! Wes Moss, certified financial planner, money educator, and author of the best-selling book You Can Retire Sooner Than You Think, is here to show you that retirement isn’t that far away. Through some simple calculations, Wes enlightens us on how many Americans are already in the position to retire and why you don’t need many millions to live a comfortable post-work life. But that’s just the tip of this financial education iceberg. We get into a much deeper discussion with Wes about what a happy retirement really looks like and the key signs that you’ll live a satisfying retirement life. There are two main factors to a happy retirement, and if you haven’t been paying attention to them, you can almost guarantee you WON’T enjoy financial freedom when you achieve it. So, if you want a happier, healthier, wealthier, and longer retirement, stick around! In This Episode We Cover The two most crucial factors of having a happy retirement (it’s NOT money) Why you DON’T need to be a millionaire to retire or retire early The wave of “unretired” and why those over fifty-five are going back into the workforce Why eighty percent of Americans DON’T like their job and how this is hurting retirement investing The multiple streams of income you need to retire on your terms Social security, pensions, and other retirement income many Americans forget about in their calculations And So Much More!

Do you dream of hitting financial independence before the age of fifty, forty, or even thirty? In this episode, we’re joined by two of the SheeksFreaks community’s finest—a pair of scrappy entrepreneurs who decided to skip collegeand pursue a much faster path to financial freedom. First up, we chat with Adrian Zapata, a twenty-two-year-old serial entrepreneur who now owns multiple thriving seasonal businesses. During the spring, summer, and fall months, Adrian delivers lawn care and tree trimming servicesto the locals of San Antonio, Texas.

Next, Javier Leyva shares how he was able to achieve financial independence by just twenty-six years old despite his underprivileged upbringing. After performing his own cost-benefit analysis, Javier determined that getting a traditional bachelor’s degree wasn’t the right path for him. Instead, he joined the workforce and took actionable steps toward FI—doubling down on saving money, finding a higher-paying job, and increasing his income with the house hacking strategy! In This Episode We Cover Two unique ways to achieve financial independence before the age of 30 How to boost your income with the house hacking strategy The HUGE revenue potential of building a seasonal business The case for SKIPPING college and choosing the straight path to FI Why you NEED to plug into a personal finance community (and stay accountable!)

You probably already know who Humphrey Yang is, and even if you don’t, there’s a good chance you’ve seen one of his YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram videos. A few years ago, Humphrey’s internet presence was almost non-existent. He was living off savings, trying to find a business that would hit traction, until one day, he started posting financial content online. Within thirty days, he had a six-figure follower count. But this wasn’t by luck or accident; it was by design. Humphrey knew that to start any successful business, it would take testing—a lot of testing. So, he set out to test content that not many other people were making, showing anyone and everyone on the internet what not to buy, the best ways to invest, and how they, too, could become wealthy, or at least not end up broke. But Humphrey was ONLY able to do this after saving up a significant amount of money from past jobs, going extremely frugal, and realizing that he needed to do whatever it took to work for himself. And if you’re struggling to find your path and feel like being an entrepreneur is what you’re meant to do, Humphrey can help! In this episode, he’ll show you EXACTLY how he “tested” his way to wealth, made financial and entrepreneurial “hypotheses,” and grew an online following to over a million people in just a few years. In This Episode We Cover The benefits of extreme frugality and how to save six figures on an average salary Starting your own business and how to “test" whether it’ll stick Going viral online in only a month and how to find your niche with customers/viewers Why you MUST fail at multiple businesses before you find success Using your “unfair” advantage to get ahead in whatever industry you’re in And So Much More!

Everyone wants to know how to get rich. And here’s the truth: getting rich might be much easier than you think. While most people would assume the wealthy grind their way to success, this isn’t always the case. In fact, rich people are FAR lazier than you think, and we’re not saying that in a bad way. Rich people make money while they sleep, so they don’t HAVE to work harder every day. Want to know how you can do the same? Vivian Tu, AKA “Your Rich BFF,” will show you how! Vivian grew up with super-saver immigrant parents who taught her the value of money. When she went off to college, she realized a whole new world of wealth existed—this was only multiplied when she became a Wall Street trader. Vivian saw the fancy suits, the designer bags, and the jewel-studded bracelets and realized that these “rich” people were doing something most people didn’t know about. After her friends and coworkers wouldn’t stop asking her for financial advice, she decided to take her knowledge to the masses. In her new book, “Rich AF: The Winning Money Mindset That Will Change Your Life,” Vivian details what the rich do that you (probably) don’t. These habits of the wealthy can change your life and upgrade you from the position you’re in now. In today’s episode, we talk about the tools you can use to get rich, why you’re playing real-life Monopoly all wrong, and how rich people think to build wealth even when they’re not working. In This Episode We Cover Habits of the rich that most Americans have no idea about Why you need to STOP saving money and start doing this instead Financial literacy for all and how to start learning the money game even if you think it’s too late Asking for raises, job hopping, and how to start getting paid what you deserve The ONE place you should put your cash that could be making you extra money every month And So Much More!

Ho ho ho! We hope you had a holly, jolly, frugal, and festive holiday season. With the BiggerPockets elves off tinkering to make even greater shows for next year, we bring you one of our FAVORITE episodes for an encore! In this show, you'll hear about two VERY late starters who were able to reach retirement right on time! If you think it's too late to retire, think again! ______ Is early retirement possible if you’re dead broke in your 50s? What about regular retirement when you have anegative net worth later in life? If you feel it’s too late to retire, today’s guests are here to prove you wrong. After waking up at fifty with zero dollars to her name, Becky Heptig faced a dilemma—make a change or work for the rest of her days. So Becky and her husband, almost overnight, flipped their lifestyle around and started saving and investing everything they could. Now, she’s retired as a millionaire with complete financial flexibility. Bill Yount wasn’t just worth zero dollars; he had a negative net worth at fifty. Even with a high-paying job, new cars, and a nice house, Bill was miles away from retirement but took the same path as Becky as he aggressively saved and started planning for retirement. Just a few years out from retirement, Bill has millions stashed away, a luxury lifestyle that his investments support, and a boat-sized amount of cash in his bank account. If you think it’s TOO late to retire, you’re wrong. Becky and Bill prove in today’s episode that even if you’re starting late, with NOTHING to your name, retirement is only a decade (or a few years) away. You’ll hear EXACTLY how they retired early when starting from zero, the “wake-up call” late starters MUST have, and what you can do TODAY to get your retirement planning on track! In This Episode We Cover How to go from broke in your 50s to millionaire (or multimillionaire) in your 60s Lifestyle creep and why a high income is dangerous for most Americans How to reverse your “spend first, save last” mindset and start investing for your future The “wake-up call” that caused Becky and Bill to change their financial mindset Whether or not it’s ever “too late” to retire (and what to do if you’re there) Becky and Bill’s advice for those that are broke in their 40s, 50s, or 60s Why you should NEVER buy a boat And So Much More!

Instead, become a “quiet” millionaire like Tae Kim, the “Financial Tortoise.” You’ve seen the flashy cars, fancy champagne, and private jets of the online financial “gurus.” Then, like clockwork, you see these same people lose their wealth, go bankrupt, or disappear from the online world entirely. What happened to them, and where did all the “riches” go? In today’s show, we talk to Tae about the slow, steady, unsexy way to build wealth and become a millionaire that most Americans will never understand. It’s far less risky than gambling your money away, day trading, or going high-leverage on risky real estate. Instead, you can sleep like a baby every night, knowing you have hundreds of thousands in the bank, millions in investments, and enough money to chase your dreams IF you follow Tae’s advice. Tae’s path to wealth wasn’t complicated, but he did make a handful of money mistakes you won’t want to repeat. Afterpaying off over six figures in debt, Tae now serves as the financial hero we need but don’t deserve, teaching EVERYONE why the slow, quiet way to wealth is the smartest, most sustainable way to truly become “rich.” If you want to quit your job, do what you love, and live every day on YOUR schedule, stick around! In This Episode We Cover The “quiet” millionaire and why you want to be wealthy, NOT rich Money mistakes that you should avoid at ALL costs when on the journey to financial independence How much money you should have in the bank BEFORE you quit your job Why so many financial “gurus” go broke within a few years of acquiring their wealth How to define your “enough” so you don’t end up working your life away Tae’s unbelievably simple investment advice for those just starting out And So Much More!
