Description
We discuss a wide range of topics with Deb and Chris:How they each grew up financially and what it taught them.Their limiting beliefs about money. Deb’s health issues and how that motivated her to think differently. When it clicked that Deb didn’t need more money, but she needed more time. How quitting their jobs didn’t solve all their issues. Their rental property empire, how they’ve built it up, and what money it’s generating for them. The fears they have. Their timeline and the various financial decisions they made along the way.How Deb realized she couldn’t do it all. She couldn’t be the perfect mother, be perfect at her job, etc. What is the real meaning of their life, and what is it that they really want?Chris’s 2 year quit-iversary.How they are spending less on their kids because they pay their kids as part of their rental property business, so their kids mostly spend their own money on the things that they need. How low they’ve gotten their annual cost of living down to, minus discretionary items. The concept of destination addiction.The reality that you might need to step away from your daily stresses to decompress and truly figure out what makes you happy and what you need. How they are spending the encore portion of their lives, and how their blog and podcast have allowed them to serve and inspire other people while also filling their buckets. Their billboards would say: (1) Don’t put your dreams on a waiting list. (2) If you truly loved yourself, what would you do?
