Do Your Hobbies Move You Closer to Financial Independence?So today's topic - this connection between the hobbies you have and whether or not you're having a rich life - is fascinating to me.

One way is through hobbies we take on. However, are there certain hobbies that can make a real difference with getting to financial independence faster and having a rich and fulfilling life?

Do you feel like you've hit a wall with your money? Learn how to find your financial blindspots and break the mindless spending twitch! How to Break the Mindless Spending CycleWe all do it. It might be small amounts every day perhaps driving by to grab coffee and breakfast on the way to work or going out for lunch with colleagues. It could be those Amazon deliveries that show up at our doors, tucked away from necessities that we ordered. Some people call it the spending leaking, impulse buying, mindless spending. The label doesn't really matter - what does is understanding that we all have blind-spots. Little places in our finances where we know we're spending something, but we're not aware of just how much it is. Inspired by the incredible site and story of Break the Twitch, I want to share some personal about how easy it was for us to slip into mindless spending and how we found a way to make sure they don't sabotage our finances. In this episode we get into:

Want to be completely debt free, including your house? Find out the key changes one couple made to pay off their mortgage in less than 5 years! Pay Your Mortgage Off FasterWhat would you do if you owed your home free and clear like Andy does now? With no mortgage payment what options would open up? There's a good chance you'd love to get rid of your mortgage, but the idea of getting rid of such a huge amount makes it seem impossible. Right now median purchase price of a home here in the United States is $235,000, with 10% down. Now if you live in D.C. you're looking at $400,000 with my buddies in Cali close behind at around $350,000. Not cheap. Probably the biggest purchase you'll make. Which is why I asked my buddy and Marriage, Kids, and Money creator, Andy Hill, to come on. He's an awesome guy, really excited to get couples closer to their debt free goals. We both know that not everyone can replicate what Andy and his wife Nicole did - we all have different circumstances - but there's a lot to their process that could make all the difference with you and your home. In this episode, we discuss:

Frustrated with your credit card, car payments, and student loans? Learn how you two can come together to dump your debt faster and retire early! How You Can Retire EarlyLet me ask you two questions.
Does it seem like there is a huge gap between today and five years from now? If you would've told me five years ago we'd be out of debt (except for the mortgage) and be on our way towards financial independence I'd think you'd be a little crazy. Sure, I was optimistic, but it wouldn't feel possible with all that we were juggling at the time. But when you break down your goal into chunks and you work out a system which for us includes automating, you can see huge results. The good news is that the skills you use to get out of debt are transferable. Instead of sending in those extra payments to your credit cards and student loans, you can direct to savings and investments. Deacon Hayes, personal finance author and Well Kept Wallet founder, is on today and we're getting into how he and his wife Kim made this transition. In this episode, we talk about:
