Todd Tresidder is a retired hedge fund manager turned money coach and financial blogger at Financialmentor.com.

Todd has successfully helped over 15,000 people jumpstart their financial freedom and plan for early retirement. During the show, we will explore strategies much different than the traditional methods taught by many other financial experts. Todd will share his thoughts on Robo-advisors like Vanguard and real estate crowdfunding. We’ll also discuss the unknown side of financial independence and the problems you may face once you’ve achieved success.   Links: Financialmentor.com @Financialmentor   Where are we: Barcelona, Spain - Sam & Johnny FD Lake Tahoe, Nevada - Todd   Discussed: Article: How Anyone Can Retire in 10 Years or Less Todd’s Course - 7 steps to 7 figures   Book: Start Here – Recommended readings   Time Stamps: 03:14 - Achieving wealth and early retirement 08:09 - Retiring in 10 years 17:17 - Frugality and high savings 23:20 - Real estate and entrepreneurship 24:58 - Foreign real estate 26:46 - Best path to retirement for all individuals 32:31 - Financial freedom with kids 34:46 - Using Robo advisors such as Vanguard 37:06 - Real estate crowdfunding issues 40:40 - Problems once you’ve achieved success 43:10 - Unknown side of financial independence 50:33 - Diversifying and due diligence 53:46 - Passive vs. active investing 56:10 - Preparing for success 56:30 - Fun to hassle ratio If you enjoyed this episode, do us a favor and share it!
