Finance Friday: Can I Still Reach FI by 45 If I Quit My Job?
Alex Preziosi wants to reach financial independence by the age of forty-five, and with several hundred thousand dollars in retirement accounts, brokerage accounts, and savings, she’s on pace to do just that. But now, she’s thinking about quitting her W2 job. Can she still hit her FI goal? Today’s guest has good problems, but problems, nonetheless! Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Since we last spoke with Alex, she has made two major leaps on her journey to financial independence. First, she has taken up house hacking, which pays for most of her mortgage in an expensive area of the US. But that’s not all. She has also grown her side hustle as a real estate agent into a full-fledged business, where she now earns more than she does at her W2 job! These moves have only widened the gap between her income and her expenses, and, as a result, she’s sitting on an even bigger pile of cash. Now, Alex finds herself at yet another crossroads. Is her W2 holding her back? Should she pursue full-time entrepreneurship while she has such a strong cash position? Stay tuned as we dive into the numbers and try to figure out Alex’s best path to FI by forty-five! In This Episode We Cover The best path for Alex to reach financial independence by forty-five When to leave your W2 job and pursue full-time entrepreneurship How to lower (or eliminate!) your housing cost with the house hacking strategy Where to invest a large amount of cash (stock market versus real estate) Tax strategies that could help you save a fortune over your lifetime And So Much More!

Today, we’re diving into five of the most common financial fears, whether they’re worth fretting about, and what to do about them! Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Do you ever worry about your finances? You’re not alone! Maybe you’re concerned about your FIRE number being too low and running out of money in retirement.

We’ve pulled the most common concerns about money and are going to respond to each of them in today’s show! Tune in to learn how much money you actually need to comfortably retire, how to deal with burnout on the journey to FIRE, and if you’re “missing out on life” by practicing frugality in your youth.

$200K/Year & Early Retirement in 10 Years by Being a "Lazy" Investor
Dion McNeeley retired in just ten years after starting from not just zero but NEGATIVE. He was forty years old with $89,000 in debt, had no assets, a low-paying job, and zero investing experience. Thanks to his “lazy” method of building wealth, he was able to amass millions of dollars in assets, create over $200,000 per year in passive income streams, and retire just ten years after starting his journey to FIRE. Can you do it, too, even in today’s markets? Yes! Dion did what most people aren’t willing to: lower your cost of living, spend less, save more, and yes…house hack. He built a small real estate portfolio just by house hacking alone. Still, thanks to the compounding effect of real estate, Dion’s passive income from the rentals began to overtake his monthly expenses. Now, he rakes in four to five times more than he could ever spend. Who wouldn’t want a $200,000 per year income stream in retirement?! But it’s NOT too late to copy Dion’s exact strategy. In fact, Dion is sharing why NOW is one of the best times ever to get into real estate investing and how you, too, in ten years or less, could be making major passive income and enjoying early retirement! In This Episode We Cover How to explode your passive income by slowly investing in real estate Dion’s journey from $89,000 in debt and low-paying jobs to financial freedom Why Dion encourages you to IGNORE what everyone is saying about the housing market A $1,000,000 mistake that Dion made that you should NOT repeat (DON’T pay off your house!) Why Dion doesn’t care about growing a big real estate portfolio (and you shouldn’t either!) And So Much More!
