Get on the Path to Financial Freedom

It’s almost the end of January, how are things going for you?

Over at our FB group, Thriving Families, I've been keeping an eye on some of the goals you’ve been sharing and I’m really impressed.

We some tackling debt, many mentioning their student loans. Meal prepping is also on the list. That’s a fantastic money saver and will help you tremendously with your health goals.

Quite a few talked about earning more, both through their regular 9-5 job as well as side hustles.

On the surface, these goals seem to go in different directions, but when we chat in the group and get into the whys behind the goals, I noticed a recurring theme.

Having more flexibility and security for our families.

And for many, that path includes reaching financial independence.

But when you’re deep in debt or just starting out, it can seem overwhelming and in some cases out of reach.

However, you can take steps now to get your finances in a great spot and open up more options for your family.

Today Grant Sabatier, the author of Financial Freedom and the creator of Millennial Money, goes through how he was able to become a millionaire and financially independent by 30.

More importantly, he also discusses how you can create your own path based on your goals and priorities.

In this episode, we get into:

• Defining what financial independence and freedom means to you
• Why simply cutting expenses won’t get you to where you want to go
• How side hustles can enrich your lives and get you close to your FI dreams

Hope you enjoy!
