[11:06-25:48] Frugal living and saving for extended vacations - This is how Lauren and Steven got to visit every single national park in the U.S. during a 7-month trip. [25:49-39:03] Optimizing income strategies, developing more skills and monetizing them to fund your adventures. [39:04-54:42] Journey to financial independence: strategies and insights. [54:43-1:09:31] Efficient fitness tracking and cost-effective car transactions. [1:09:32-] The power of kindness in life Key quotes: “I think that what made a huge difference was being on the same page about it. We both wanted to see that number increase and it was tangible.” - Lauren Keys. “Being financially independent gives you this new perspective. Instead of designing a business around how do I ring the cash register on day one and get people to pay me, it’s how do I design a business that creates the life I want. And if it works, well that’s great! It’s a win-win. And if it doesn’t work, that’s fine too, because we’re good money-wise and we don’t need the money anyway.” - Steven Keys “I’m actually buying my freedom. I’m spending my money every month on freedom. That is so much more exciting than the deprivation mindset.” - Justin David Carl Full Show Notes w/ Links to resources: www.fitrichlife.com/podcast/ FIT RICH LIFE NEWSLETTER Get fit, get rich, and live your best life in 10 minutes a week.
