Summary

Welcome back to So Money. I'm your host Farnoosh Torabi. Thanks for joining me. Doing something special this week. If you've been listening since Monday, you know it is millionaire's next door week. Dedicating the week to people across the country, in some cases across the globe, who are millionaires and you wouldn't really know it. They're frugal, they save their money wisely, they don't buy material things necessarily, they have sacred financial philosophies and we're gonna learn all about it this week. So inspired to introduce today's couple, we have a couple on So Money today. Jeremy Jacobson and Winnie Tseng. They run the personal finance blog Gocurrycracker.com. They are two normal people from lower income families, chasing the American dream, until they realized, you know what? The chase wasn't making them so happy. They sold their house, they sold their car, and started saving 70%, or more than 70% of their combined income. And in a short 10 years, while still in their 30's, they became financially independent and said "buh-bye" to the working world to then start a family and travel the world. Three years now into a hopefully 60 plus year journey, they're living their own nomadic dream with their newborn son, Julian. The two have now multiple millions of dollars, they keep that money pretty much invested in index funds, they tell me. And they're living off about $4,000 a month and they are soon about to embark on their world wide journey. First stop, Mexico! Lots to learn from this couple, our millionaires next door.
