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.

Your Worst Case Scenario | Joel from FI 180 (Replay)
Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a potentially life-altering event to step back and reevaluate your life.
For our guest Joel, it was a potentially fatal car crash that his wife was involved in. Luckily she was okay!
But it was certainly a wake-up call.
After much reflection, they figured out what they truly valued and cut down their monthly expenses by a whopping 70%...
Yes, 70%!
These changes allowed them to reach financial independence just 4 years later.
Our favorite quote was “My worst-case scenario, is everyone else’s everyday scenario”.

Knowing THIS is The Key To FI
What is that one thing you know would make you happy?
The problem with that answer, is that often what we know turns out not to be true.
We often think we need more (time, things, square footage, vacations, etc).
In reality, what we need to be happy is already within reach, the real problem is our mindset or confusion of priorities.
Cody and Justin reflect on travels to places where people have so much less material wealth but so much more happiness.
They also cover the mental traps around chasing more they've fallen victim to.
The warning to the audience is to ensure you don't delay happiness while on your journey to financial independence.
Delaying gratification of a purchase may be necessary but you have enough today to be happy...so don't delay your happiness.
We're all so incredibly adaptable in both a positive and negative way.
Be confident and know that you can make it through life regardless of how abundant your possessions are, but also be careful not to adapt to luxuries so that they no longer become special or meaningful.
Thank you all for listening and may this episode help you on your path to a financially independent future.
