It's the podcast people who want financial freedom without giving up their coffee.

I'm Frances Cook, a financial journalist and fellow financial freedom seeker who makes money simple for you.

Okay, back to it.

Now let's start with what everyone probably expects this to get into.

Investing is crucial for getting your financial freedom and keeping it.

Your money needs to work hard, not just you.

In fact, send your money to work instead of you.

You can't expect to save everything you need for financial freedom all by yourself.

There will be so much money to accumulate all

on your own.

You're going to make investments do quite a bit of this work for you.

Once you understand the money world, you can start treating the dollars that you earn as if they're employees.

You can send them to work

Get them earning money for you so that you reach financial independence without doing all of the heavy lifting yourself.

And you can eventually have so many dollar employees earning money for you that you won't have to earn it at all yourself.

But think about how any company works.

You might have a lot of people doing a certain job because it's important, but you will never have a company filled with everyone doing the exact same job.

You might have an accounting department, an IT department, a marketing department, and you need all of them because they do totally different things and they have to work together to make the company successful.

You are the company.

your money as the employees, and you need different dollars doing different jobs if you're going to be successful.
