    Geohacking – How to Make Money With Your House While Traveling

    Geohacking – How to Make Money With Your House While Traveling

    Who doesn't want to vacation more?



    Too bad it's so expensive...



    But what if it was cheaper than living your normal day-to-day life?



    Introducing Geohacking.



    Geohacking is when you rent out your primary residence while you travel to a cheaper cost-of-living part of the world.



    Justin and his fiancé Leslie just recently spent a week in Puerto Vallarta.



    The cost of their oceanside condo, roundtrip flights, and multiple excursions was less than what they earned from renting out their house in Austin, TX for 4 days.



    They actually got paid to go on vacation.



    In this episode, we unpack this idea of Geohacking and teach you exactly how to get started.

    Relationships and Financial Independence

    Relationships and Financial Independence

    A financially independent life sounds pretty amazing, but do you want to spend it alone?



    Most people want time to spend with their loved ones, and none more than their life partner.



    Maybe you already have yours, or maybe you've never even considered how this would change your path.



    Either way, today's episode is for you.



    This episode was inspired by Justin's recent engagement!



    The guys discuss several areas around the topic of financial independence with a life partner including:



    * Tax benefits

    * mentality shift

    * priorities changing

    * lessons learned

    * and more



    Most of the discussion is high level but we do get in the details a bit more on one subject, and that's the real estate pro designation.



    All in all, we think life is better with a partner and their addition is nothing but positive in terms of a path to financial independence.



    Thank you all for listening and may this episode help you on your path to a financially independent future.
