Last January, I went to a party at a trailer park that featured a huge bonfire, a few llamas, and a member of Public Enemy.
(I realize that sounds like the setup to a joke. Welcome to my life.)
While I was there, I met a former competitive chess player named Steve Gossett. Steve is […]

Spaghetti is a major part of my life.
I eat it, of course, as many people do. I also spill it all over my pants, despite the fact that I’m 33 and should’ve learned the rules of gravity by now.
But most importantly, I use spaghetti as a metaphor for my business. If I’m […]

Roger Whitney is known as the “retirement answer man.”
“All I think about, all day long, is how to make that [retirement] transition successfully,” he says.

It’s the first Monday of the month, which means it’s time to answer questions from the Afford Anything community.
Our first question comes from a caller in a tough spot:
Her mother-in-law is 66 years old. She’s divorced, holds no retirement savings, and will only receive a tiny Social Security check. Her health is worsening, […]

You know that rare moment when you meet someone with whom you connect *instantly*?
I felt that way when I met Emma Pattee, the 26-year-old millionaire and mini-real-estate-mogul who joins me on today’s episode.
Emma and I share similar stories: we’re both young female artists and entrepreneurs who figured out that wealth is a tool […]

I’ve always taken an approach to life that puts my freedom first.
My one and only 9-5 lasted only 3 years. Since then, I’ve built passive income and financial independence through rental real estate.
And while most listeners think this is a podcast about money, it’s really about a philosophy around life that is disguised […]

Your potential is unlimited.
I realize that’s the type of cliche that you normally find embossed in cursive script on the side of coffee mugs. It’s trite and impersonal and overused.
But it’s also true.
Your potential to earn and grow is limitless. But it’s not free. You need to invest time and money […]
