#FINANCIAL FREEDOM PODCAST PLUS#

Can you talk a little bit about, uh, you know, what it was like growing up? Can you talk a little bit about, uh, where your money views come from? You’ve mentioned briefly, you know, growing up with meager means, um, you know, I know you had some challenges just growing up. I mean, you’ve always been extremely frugal. And I remember just growing up how you were very thoughtful in, uh, you know, teaching me about money, but also in your own approach to money. I appreciate that extra context as a five or six year old hearing that, you know, it really stuck with me, but it’s really hard to understand what it means. So to me the financial freedom or the money is freedom, is that my goal was always to try to, you know, I grew up with meager means and my goal was always to try to have enough money that I could do what I wanted when I chose to do that. You know, your, your life is being dictated by the people that you owe the money to. A lot of people work and I just try to make ends meet is you don’t really have any freedom. Because what you’re doing when you have a lot of debt and you’re working to pay those debts and your. You’re not tied down to anything, you know, don’t have house payments and car payments and credit card payments and you know, a lot of consumer debt or any other kind of debt. You just have the freedom to just do whatever you choose to do. You know, my goal is always been to have freedom and have enough money that if I decided I didn’t want to work, if I wanted to go live at the beach for the rest of my life, or if I wanted to take a road trip or take a few weeks off, or if I had a boss or somebody that was mistreating me I didn’t like working for them. Money is freedom means to me that if you have enough money, you can do whatever you want.

So where’d that come from? Money is freedom.

I remember that, you know, Gosh, I probably five, six years old, the first time that you told me that, and it’s pretty funny now, you know, 25 plus years later, uh, that I’ve written a book called Financial Freedom and that I’ve spent so much time really trying to think about it and figure it out. I remember one of my earliest memories being a kid when he would say money is freedom. And really it’s my father who inspired this entire financial journey. I’m back home in my childhood home here, hanging out with my parents for a couple of days. This is the first episode and I’m very excited. This is Grant Sabatier and this is the financial freedom podcast. But I wanted to launch the podcast with the man that inspired my own financial freedom journey. My Dad is an incredibly humble and quiet guy, so it took some convincing to get him on the show. For the first episode of the Financial Freedom podcast I invited my Dad to discuss freedom, money, his challenges growing up, and what’s next as he plans for retirement. It has stuck with and inspired me deeply. One of my earliest childhood memories is of my Dad telling me “Money is Freedom”. Financial Freedom Podcast Ep 1: Money is Freedom w/ My Dad
