In today's episode, I talk with my friend Shang Saavedra, who saved enough money to retire by the age of 31! We talk about her new book Wealth Is a Mindset, why talking about money is so important, and how growing up shaped the way she thinks about money today. Shang shares how she and her husband lived simply so they could save more, and how her health scare made her rethink everything. We also talk about how your thoughts and feelings can affect your money habits and why it’s never too late to change.
