Description

Financial Panther (Kevin) went to law school, graduated from law school, and took a job as an attorney. Attorneys make a lot of money, right? So, with all this income potential, why is he doing side hustles that pay him significantly less? Happiness. Being an attorney didn’t make Kevin happy. In fact, it made him decidedly unhappy. He changed jobs several times but in the end decided being a lawyer simply wasn’t for him. So, he left the field to pursue fun things that he liked doing. Kevin loves to be outside. He lives near a university in a large city. He loves dogs. Put that all into a shaker, and out comes Kevin 2.0. Kevin 2.0 takes dogs for walks during lunchtime. He gets out of his downtown office (he makes himself go to a co-working space so he accomplishes things every day) and delivers meals to office workers who can’t get away. Kevin walks dogs around the downtown area for their owners who can’t get away at lunchtime to take them out. Kevin charges scooters overnight, and on his way home, he delivers even more meals. Best of all? Kevin gets to spend time outside almost every single day. He does what he CHOOSES to do, regardless of what it pays. Financial freedom isn’t about quitting your job. It's about living your best life, which Kevin 2.0 is now doing. In This Episode We Cover: Kevin's journey with money How he started learning about money His position when he got his first paycheck The differences between his salary at the big law firm versus at the non-profit job How Kevin and his wife handle student loan debt How he generate his income in spite of being unemployed Kevin's side hustles The reason why he does side hustles instead of doing law-related jobs What his day and night looks like while doing his side hustles Tips on reselling things And SO much more!
