154. How to Retire by 40!

"Retirement is not the end of the road. It is the beginning of the open highway."   –Unknown   This is an awesome conversation about something we are all concerned about, money! I am excited to welcome Tommy Jones to the T&T mic to share his journey and relationship with money. Tommy is a fellow podcaster (How The Hell Are We Friends), entrepreneur, investor… and retired at 34! Tommy shares how he changed his mind set to change his bank account. Like many of us, Tommy grew up with a scarcity mindset around money, but with society's prescription that we actually need to buy more. This is a great convo for anyone looking to break the cycle and get their money or financial health right. Like any other health approach, it's not just one thing, it's the whole human approach. Tommy share tips, tricks, and pro tips on how to level up your financial game, easy ways to start that journey now, and how to recognize the power of the community currently around you to support that overall wellness journey… so you can retire financially early and get on to the next phase of purposeful living.   Highlights: Financially retiring early. Taking life one step at a time. Living aware and making conscious change. Setting goals, achieving them, and not always having it all figured out. Continuous evolution. The whole human approach. Money, mindset, saving, and being present.   Tommy Jones: I am a 34-year-old retiree, I accomplished this massive goal in many different ways, most people think it's only about my investing strategy, which I definitely cover on how the hell are we friends podcast, but that was only one aspect. I cover all the topics like mental health, physical health, and different philosophies that have helped my friends and me that I have coached to live a more financially free life. The name of the podcast How the hell are we friends, is also a massive contributing factor to our success. I often speak about ways we can have conversations to understand rather than to win, and in the process, we can walk away with a broader perspective that allows us to understand and navigate in the world we live in a little better.   How The Hell Are We Friends, Podcast We all want to be understood, but how much time do we spend trying to understand others. We will dive deep into varying perspectives on Growth, Self-improvement, Mindset, Empathy, Wealth, and Financial Literacy with host Tommy Jones and friends. We will discuss thought-provoking topics that will have opposing viewpoints; however, our focus will be on having a conversation to understand rather than a conversation to win. https://howthehellarewefriends.buzzsprout.com @howthehellarewefriends   . . .   Connect with T&T: IG: @TurmericTequila Facebook: @TurmericAndTequila Website: www.TurmericAndTequila.com   Host: Kristen Olson IG: @Madonnashero Tik Tok: @Madonnashero Email: [email protected] Website: www.KOAlliance.com
