Welcome to the Bigger Pocket's Money Show Number 11.

We were kind of in this place where we thought we were saving

because we were doing the 401k match

that our company was doing, which was, I think it was like 5% or somewhere around there, 5 or 6%.

And so we said, oh, we're doing that, so we're being responsible.

So let's just have fun with the rest of our money.

And we didn't realize that what it was

turning into was that we were creating a lifestyle that was really not very

sustainable and it was also something where a lot of our friends were

latching on to us because of that lifestyle.

It's time for a new American dream, one that doesn't involve working in a cubicle for 40 years,

barely scraping by. Whether you're looking to get your financial house in order,

invest the money you already have, or discover new paths for wealth creation, you're in

the right place. This show is for anyone who has money or wants more. This is the Bigger Pocket Money Podcast.

How's it going everybody? I'm Scott Trench here with my co-host, Miss Mindy Jensen.

How you doing today, Mindy?

Scott, I am having an awesome day. How are you doing today? I am doing fantastic. We just heard from one of the people I've been most excited to have on this podcast in Joel from Financial 180 and I think you and I both met Joel maybe mid-January of 2018 at a very

nerdy very awesome personal finance camp down in Florida but I was so impressed

with Joel because Joel is one of those people who came from a background of dual high income, high spending, and was unable to accumulate wealth.

And I think there's a lot of listeners out there that may come from a similar position where they've got that

you know income of 70 or 80,000 dollars a year or more and then maybe the two of

them and sense of two spouses are working but yet still can't seem to get ahead.
