Welcome to the Bigger Pockets Money Podcast, show number 164 Finance Friday edition,

where we interview Kyle and Sarah and talk about raining in spending to focus on what matters most.

I've since finding Bigger Pockets money. We found about three months ago.

So we've probably been listening to the podcast for a little bit longer, but we really didn't

start tracking anything until about three months ago. And then you guys covered credit card hacking

in one of the episodes. And I went from cashback to travel rewards after hearing about the lady

that did the travel rewards for everything up until she got financially independent and started

using that for their travel. And I was like, that's where it's after me because the cashback really

doesn't matter to me. I don't just use it just to pay off the credit card. But the travel rewards

ended up turning into a better benefit for us the way that I pay the credit card.

Hello, hello, hello, my name is Mindy Jensen and with me as always is my rugby

assistant, Otto co-host Scott Trent. You know, that's a rucking awesome introduction Mindy. Thank you.

Scott and I are here to make financial independence less scary, less just for somebody else.

And show you that by following the proven steps, you can put yourself on the road to

early financial freedom and get money out of the way so you can leave your best life.

That's right, whether you want to retire early in travel the world, go on to make big-time

investments and assets like real estate, start your own business, or simply just accelerate

your financial journey and doing more things right. We'll help you build a position capable of

launching yourself towards those dreams.

Mindy and I just had a tremendous amount of fun today because Kyle and Sarah are a pretty

successful couple. They were making good income. They had some assets, but they were spending a lot.

They weren't tracking their spending and so their money was leaking through their bucket like water.
