People hate their jobs a lot of times in this country, and that's a powerful motivation to get started on the journey to financial independence.
Scott Trench, real estate investor, best-selling author of Set for Life, and the former CEO of BiggerPockets. Scott built a multimillion-dollar portfolio and achieved financial independence by the time he was 27, all through frugality, house hacking, and smart investing.
Frugality is extremely powerful, even if it sounds unappealing at first. It both increases the amount of capital you can accumulate in your personal portfolio, and it reduces the amount of wealth that your portfolio needs to generate for you to live off of.
Seven years into being the CEO, you decided to step down. Now you're like a full-time creator. What was really happening there, and why did you decide to do that?
I had set out to achieve fire, to retire early and enjoy my life, and I had done well past that point. I want to practice what I preach a little bit.
For people who want to start a fire lifestyle, what are some key savings hacks?
The best answer to that, I think, is tech.
Yap gang, are you grinding at your nine to five, wondering if financial freedom is even possible before retirement age? Well, my guest today is living proof that it is, and he cracked the code before hitting 30.

Yeah, likewise. You are an expert on finance, on real estate, and I found out that you actually didn't found BiggerPockets. When you were first coming on, I was like, oh my gosh, he founded BiggerPockets. And then I found out that, no, you were just CEO for seven years and you actually were their third employee.
