Personal Finanance and FIRE Podcasts:
Afford Anything – Paula Pant is an amazing example of FIRE and one of the first people to introduce me (virtually) to this mindset
Bigger Pockets Money – a spinoff of Bigger Pockets that focuses on personal finance. The topics and guests are very high quality. Lots of inspiring, actionable content
Millionaires Unveiled – this is like having a seat at the table as they interview millionaires from all over the country but get very specific about how these individuals built their wealth. Great way to get ideas on where/how to invest and grow like the big girls and boys.
Journey to Launch – hosted by a black woman, Jamila Suffrant does a great job interviewing diverse guests and sharing actionable, motivating content
Trill MBA – advice and interviews on navigating corporate America as a person of color
Others that I enjoy and listen to weekly: Choose FI, Millennial Money, Paychecks & Balances
Books on Personal Finance and the FIRE Movement:
“The 4 Hour Work Week” changed everything for me – first time I really considered that I could live a life without working a 9 to 5 for the rest of my life. This book gives concrete examples of how to create passive income/side hustles to replace W2 income.
“Your Money or Your Life” by Vicki Robbin and Joe Dominguez – this is considered the foundation of the FIRE movement and outlines the principles and premises of financial independence.
“Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Rober Kioysaki – great story with concrete examples on wealth vs middle class lifestyle and investment choices. Helped shift my thinking about where I should be spending my money.
“I Will Teach You to Be Rich” by Ramit Sethi – lots of tips and tricks on mindset, budgeting, managing debt, and other choices you’ll need ot make in your pursuit of wealth and freedom.
“A Simple Path to Wealth” by JL Collins – guidance on building great wealth with idiot-proof investing, particularly in low free index funds like VTSAX.
Blogs:
I consider myself a member of the FIRE (financial independence retire early) movement – so the blogs Afford Anything, Mr Money Moustache, Choose FI, Checks & Balances, Rich & Regular have been very influential in helping me along my path to freedom – especially Afford Anything by Paula Pant and Mr. Money Moustache. These were my first exposures to the FIRE movement and opened my eyes to entire community of people living and thinking like me.
Best Real Estate Investing Blog/Resource: Bigger Pockets – the site, blog, and podcast are amazing resources and I still check in here when I have a landlording question. You can pose question to a very solid forum of other owners and investors. They also host free webinars on an almost weekly basis.
