What would you give up if it meant that you could retire now? On this episode of UNGENTRIFIED, I am joined by Kiersten & Julien Saunders of rich & REGULAR (@richandREGULAR), financial power couple featured on CBS This Morning, the NY Times, and Essence Magazine to talk about F.I.R.E., the aggressive financial lifestyle many are turning to so that they can retire early and live their best lives. We discuss the basics of F.I.R.E., the Black community’s relationship with money & finances, some of the things they do to save (they paid off $200K of debt in 5 years, you might want to listen), and whether or not everyone needs a side hustle. Listen and give us your opinion!
