What if the secret to financial independence could be boiled down to one simple equation? In this episode of The FI Guys, we break down the core formula: Income – Expenses = The Gap. That gap is your savings rate, and it’s the true engine behind wealth building.
In episode 4 of the FI Drash Course, we dive into why most people think they have an income problem (spoiler: it’s often a spending problem), and how you can flip the script with intentional choices. From negotiating your worth at work and leveraging side hustles, to maximizing employer benefits (aka free money), we cover practical ways to grow your income and stretch your gap.
But financial freedom isn’t just about math—it’s about mindset. We explore conscious spending, simple financial habits, and how buying back your time can lead to real happiness. Along the way, we share stories, sound bites, and actionable steps to help you align your money with your values.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start building wealth with intention, this episode is for you.
