Welcome to the Bigger Pockets Money Podcast, show number 181, where we interview Julie Kent,

a software engineer from Nashville, and talk about keeping up with the Joneses and purchasing

on your timeline from a position of financial strength.

I think when you get into real estate, it can be very exciting, it can be very daunting,

and there's kind of similarly with everything in life, there's always going to be someone

that has a mass more wealth than you, like anything in life, there's someone that's better than

you in everything. And at some point, you've got to like not let that bother you, I guess,

and I'm as guilty as that as anyone. I've read stories about the people, like, the headlines of

like this person's 26, and they didn't, a million dollars of real estate deals last year, and I'm like,

crap, what am I doing with my life, you know? Clearly you're just a big loser with only having seven

properties. Yeah, so, but yeah, I think like celebrating like small wins is important,

and also like learning to love the journey. Hello, hello, hello, my name is Mindy Jensen,

and with me as always is my, I've recently discovered Scotch, but I only like the gross

PD Scotch is the taste like I'm drinking dirt. Co-host, Scotch, trench.

Your interests are just always on the rocks, Mindy. Let's keep moving.

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

to introduce you to every money story, because we truly believe financial freedom is

attainable for everyone, no matter when or where you're starting. That's right, whether you

want to retire early and travel the world, go on to make big-time investments in assets like

or for the course of a decade. We'll help you reach your financial goals and get money out of the

way so you can launch yourself towards those dreams.
