Ep 92: Roadblocks to Financial Independence Part 1... When It Feels Like Life Keeps Getting In The Way, Is FI Still Worth The Fight?

You read that title right... I'm so excited to share this powerful conversation with Capital Gains Expert, Brett Swarts. While I spend a lot of time talking about how to get INTO a short-term rental property, it's incredibly valuable to think about how to realize the biggest gain possible when you do choose to sell it. You'll want to bookmark this episode because it'sa game changer. As you'll notice, I keep trying to find "the catch" for this powerful tax-saving method throughout the show but as it turns out, this is just a very underutilized, totally legal strategy.

The question I ask in today's episode could change your financial future... I know that's a BOLD statement but I believe it to be a true one.

Are you looking to live a powerful legacy (both financial and otherwise) for your children?  It's all about the ripple effect actions... And that's what we're talking about in today's episode. So, after you listen, I encourage you to think about this question... What are you doing today that's bringing a lasting ripple effect in your life? It's not always about the "big rock" moments... It's often times about the small pebbles you keep tossing out that really lead to some amazing ripples. Looking to make a ripple effect and move toward financial independence today?
