Millennial Money - From Broke to Million...

The Mad Fientist
About this episode

On today’s episode of the Financial Independence Podcast, my buddy Grant from Millennial Money joins me to talk about how he went from having $2.26 in the bank to $1.25 million in just 5 years, 3 months, and 6 days!

We dive into the strategies and tactics he used but we also go deeper and discuss some of the unexpected challenges of FIRE.

We also explore Grant’s new book, Financial Freedom, which is out today and features parts of my own story!

Highlights:

  • Why you don’t need to hit FI or save a million dollars to get the benefits of saving
  • How to make the most of your full-time job
  • Why you should strive for peace instead of money or happiness
  • How to find pleasure in mundane moments
