The key to reaching financial independence while raising a family
About this episode
Ana Kresina, financial educator and author, shares her tactics for career and investments, to get to financial independence faster.
Having enough in investments that you don’t need to work anymore sounds, frankly, hard enough for the average person.
But what about if you’re trying to raise children as well, a notoriously expensive activity?
As always, I’m a believer that it’s possible, as long as you’ve got a strategy.
Today’s guest has that same belief. She heard about the financial independence movement and decided actually, she could go for that.
So she made moves including changing her career to boost her earning power, and seriously schooling up on finances. The family is along for the ride, and safe to say, there are a few money conversations around the kitchen table.
She’s become so good at walking the family and money tightrope that she’s now written two books on it, which have gone on to win awards, and smash sales records.
