115 Talking money, with Andy Hill

Money - It’s the big challenge for anyone who wants to create a better, more balanced life and do something for a living outside of the corporate 9-5. In fact, your feelings about money could be the biggest barrier to you even thinking about doing something else instead. That’s why I wanted to talk to today’s guest. Andy Hill is a podcaster and author who is passionate about creating an incredible life for his family by being financially intelligent. He and his wife managed to pay off $50,000 of personal debt and their whole mortgage within 5 years and increased their net worth from $50,000 to $750,000 in 8 years. In this interview we talk about how Andy and his wife sorted out their own debt issues, how he balances a full time job with a busy and successful side hustle AND family life. And how to plan your finances as you start planning your escape from the rat race.
