What advice do you have for somebody who wants to do what you've done? Number one is surround yourself by resources and people where you can kind of slowly learn this stuff, whether that's listening to one of your podcasts on the way to work or just talk to people with similar goals as you. I don't think you have to become an expert in everything, but if you do these things slowly, you learn enough that you can set yourself up for success. For me, what was very, very helpful was I'm a very much a checklist person, so I mentioned I wouldn't allow myself to buy any fun toy until I was out of debt. So those first seven months we didn't invest in retirement yet. We paid off all of our loans, we got everything done, and then we focused our attention onto the next thing. For me, that's been very helpful. And then something to remind yourself. I think it's important to allow yourself permission to enjoy the fun things in life too.
