053 | Raising Your Money-Savvy Family

Doug Nordman retired at age 41 after maintaining a high savings rate despite not being high earning. He has been retired for the past 20 years and has remained financially independent through three recessions. This allowed him to provide his daughter with a valuable financial education.  Carol Pittner, having learned these valuable lessons in her youth, is now rapidly approaching financial independence herself.  Together, this father-daughter duo have amassed wealth and knowledge to be passed down to future generations.
