In this episode, Jenny interviews Lauren about her decision to end the Adulting Is Easy podcast, at least for now.

Thanks for everything over the last 6 years! :)

Leisa grew up without a lot of money, so naturally she assumed that if she had money, she wouldn’t have problems! While this isn’t true, of course, she went down the path to understanding money and teaching others how to come into confidence around money. Her book is a parable about money catalysts because catalysts speed things up. Lauren dives into the 8 money catalysts: Awaken to Possibility, Begin Within, Unearth the Abundant World, Nurture Your Inner Wealth, Define Your Own Abundance, Amplify Your Finances, Navigate Decisions, and Take Inspired Action. They close by discussing what it means to go forward and embrace life’s shadows, which you should do too!

About Lauren:

Lauren Keen Aumond is passionate about personal finance. She hosts the Adulting Is Easy podcast, where she helps make adulting easier for listeners by making money easier. Lauren became a millionaire at age 31 through high income, investing in stocks, and owning and managing real estate. She was able to leave her 9-5 at age 33 and now manages her short- and long-term rentals on the west coast of Florida with her husband. For fun, Lauren plays tennis, spends time with her family, drinks red wine, travels, and boats.

Fred started out as a computer engineer, working at tech startups during the dot com boom. Of course, what followed was the dot com crash and 9/11. He realized that relying on a single paycheck for income was risky, and he set about diversifying his income streams. Fred has seen young people go about tax planning the wrong way when trying to create other income streams, like day trading. Lauren has noticed that people are always trying to predict bubbles. Fred says that bubbles only matter if you’re selling right now. When it comes to real estate, it’s important to make sure the numbers work. Whatever you invest in, though, neglecting to manage risk is a potential area for mistakes. In real estate, that might be having an emergency fund. Since Fred is such an expert on mortgage notes, Lauren transitions to asking about these. In this case, you buy the loan (note) and become the secured lender. It’s a great way to be a passive real estate investor. Whatever you decide to do, learn from others about investing.
