Summary
In this episode, we talk with a two doc family who renovated their home entirely in cash, including a full indoor basketball court so their kids can play inside during freezing Minnesota winters. They waited a few years after building the house before finishing the basement, choosing patience and planning over debt. Along the way, they also reached millionaire status by staying intentional with their money. His advice for anyone wanting to follow a similar path is to save up and pay in cash and not take on unnecessary debt.
