    Send us a text

    In this episode of the Financial Freedom Fighters Podcast, hosts Jacob Sandoval and Michael Magno debunk the outdated concept of the American Dream. They argue that traditional paths like working a corporate job, saving in a 401k, and hoping for a comfortable retirement no longer work in the current economic climate. Instead, they advocate for achieving financial freedom through alternative means such as real estate investing, starting side businesses, and building diversified portfolios. The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding your expenses, the 4 percent rule, and the power of passive income. They also provide actionable steps and recommended readings to help you get started on your journey to financial independence.
