The FIRE Movement is a huge part of our lives. For us, it can be simplified into one word "Freedom". FIRE is an acronym that stand for Financial Independence Retire Early. Critics will question what it means to retire early. Retirement to us mean we have the freedom to do that jobs we CHOOSE to do when we want to do them! It means that we can push off work for a few hours to spend time with our families. It means we can pursue passion projects and side hustles we love. But more importantly, it means we get to live life on our terms! In this episode we will break down three different specific ways we have invested during our personal finance journey to reach FIRE! These are simple, but effective, ways to fund the life that you want to live and see retirement in a completely different way!

Today we had the pleasure of sitting down with Marko Zlatic of Whiteboard Finance. Marko's YouTube channel Whiteboard Finance has growth to over 400,000+ subscribes where his number one priority is to help you master your money and build your wealth.  Marko's approach to personal finance is one of a kind. His upbringing, education, and life experience give him a wealth of knowledge you don't find everyday in the niche of personal finance. We were lucky enough to sit down with him in this causal setting and talk about the entire spectrum of personal finance.  We started with the importance of managing debt, setting financial goals, and taking control of your destiny. We were able to discuss the current state of the United States Market, The Fed printing money, and how interest rates in this environment effect the average individual.  We finished with a talk about Bitcoin, its future, and what assets could be the best investment right now.

Over the past few years Robinhood has been the leader in the world of stock trading apps. It has been a trail blazer, carving the path and setting the new standards for other to follow. We have both been using Robinhood for over three years and are now stepping away. It this episode we will discuss the pros and cons of the Robinhood Trading app and why we are stepping away. We will discuss how this is a personal choice that may not effect all that use the app and the benefits that it can serve so many with.  We will compare Robinhood to the other current popular trading apps M1 Finance and Webull. We strongly believe that between these app any investor at any level of their stock purchasing career can find a home.

We have been on both side of the equation.

For many of us INVESTING can be an intimidating process. From choosing the right 401k plan to buying a stock, it's hard to be confident that you are making the best choices for your future. 

We have been there!

In this episode, we will break down and explain all of the basic investment opportunities you may encounter. We start with the Roth IRA and how this may be the single best option that we, as Americans have. We talk about choosing the best 401k and Brad will break down the state employee Tax Deferred 403b and 457 and what type of funds we have in both. 

How do you decide if you should us passively or actively managed funds? Should you invest in index funds or individual stocks? Is it better to have a dividend portfolio or growth portfolio? These are all the questions we faces during our initial investing career!

We close the episode with Real Estate and how this is the investment avenue that we are most excited about!

Getting to Financial Freedom does not happen over night. It is a process and there are many different roads to lead you there. Regardless of the path you take to reach Financial Success there is one step that we all must take. Managing and eliminating DEBT is crucial. Debt will deplete wealth and derail financial momentum.

In this episode we are going to talk about debt! The good, the bad, and the ugly! We will give our debt stories and "ah ha" moments we had when making the choice that debt was no longer going to be apart of our lives. Our reasons may be different, but our goal was the same. LIVE DEBT FREE!

We will discuss debt and it's role in relationships and marriage, different methods of debt payoff like the Debt Snowball vs Debt Avalanche, and other highly debated debt topics such as "Good Debt". We hope you enjoy this episode of Average Money.

Welcome to Average Money! The podcast is brought to you by two friends: Brad Finn, a physics teacher in New York and JJ Buckner a full-time YouTuber who recently left his day job to pursue his passion for spreading financial education. They are just two average family guys with above average dreams, looking to share their story as they work to become financially free. 

The goals for the podcast are to talk about money with you every single week, and talk about the strategies they’ve used to achieve their goals financially. This podcast will provide insight from different guests across all different walks of life, who have accomplished amazing things through hard work, education, and discipline, and Brad and JJ are excited to share their stories with you. 

In the first episode of Average Money,  Brad and JJ answer a lot of common questions:  why is financial literacy so important? What are the goals and sacrifices that it takes to become financially independent? How did they get to where they are today? Why did they start thinking about money differently than their peers? 

JJ shares his backstory and talks about growing up as a natural saver, putting aside any money  he earned for specific purposes. However, his main financial journey started after he graduated college with an engineering degree and began working for an engineering firm and hated it, he could not see himself working there until retirement age. He didn't want to live out his life the same way he saw his superiors living theirs and wanted to be more efficient with his money. JJ shares about how he got into YouTube, and needing an outlet to share his financial knowledge, opinions and thoughts, which ultimately brought him here. 

Brad talks about how he was more of a spender, who always had money coming in but had no idea about lifestyle creep, and had no idea what his net worth was until he looked into it and was shocked to see that it was negative and he had no idea. He talks about how his mindset changed and came into perspective once he became a dad, and had a desire to leave a legacy for his kids. Brad talks about his journey paying off debt, and how he persevered through the rough times of paying off debt and how treating his net worth as a scoreboard for keeping him motivated. 

The episode dives into the power of tracking and writing down your expenses and tracking it against a budget. They talk about the power of how giving up things now can pay off huge later in life, through the power of compounding. JJ talks about how giving up short term gratification allowed him to quit his day job before he turned 30 and post on YouTube full-time, and be afforded the time to spend more time with his kids. Brad compares it to being able to pour his coffee slow, make his coffee with a french press, instead of the usual work days which are much more hectic and he doesn’t have time for a 10 minute cup of coffee.  Description Written By Average Money Community Member Aaron Azevedo!
