On this episode of the Wealthy Achieveher, we have the couple who paid off $200,000 in five years, Julien and Kiersten of rich & REGULAR podcast. Their story has been featured in The NY Times, Marketwatch, Forbes, the Oprah Winfrey Network and more. This couple was able to build their wealth and gain financial independence after changing how they see and handle money.
Initially not a fan of the FIRE movement, Kiersten expresses how Julien was more "financially savvy" at the time and educated her on how important the path to FIRE would be.
They are the creative voices behind the blog richandregular.com, producers of the award-winning video series, Money on the Table. Check out their new book "Cashing Out: Win the Wealth Game By Walking Away".
Tune in to hear more about how they did it, what they are doing now, and what is coming up next! You do not want to miss this episode.

I created a self paced version for those who may not have a lot of time. You still will receive the full course, along with the choice of working towards financial independence ON YOUR OWN.

Do you need a financial advisor or financial planner? I retired at 41 and truly believe it's possible for you too with a little education.
I FIRED My Financial AdvisorOne afternoon, I called my financial planner and told him I would no longer wire him my money. Furthermore, I would be transferring all of my money out of his firm and into accounts at Vanguard, and I would be managing my financial investments from now on. Now how do you think he took to that? His exact words were, "you'll be back." I felt so disrespected. "I do have a Ph.D.!" I told him. We ended the call, and I was on a mission to become financially independent by 45 years old. And guess what, I quit my full-time job at 41 years old!
Is it possible for me?I know this may sound scary if youâve never invested before. You may be thinking, âI canât afford to lose any moneyâ or âI donât know where to start.â You can reach your goals with education, positive money affirmations, and experienced people by your side! You have to get started!
Is it even possible to become financially free? Is it possible to have all your expenses covered from capital gains (real estate, business, stock, bond, or equity investments)? Itâs possible to live on less than you make and invest the rest. Not everyone can do it, but many of us who make average salaries or more can do it.

Keishaâs husband met an untimely death when he was 34 years old and she was 31. He suffered a medical mystery just eight weeks after she gave birth to their second child. His death was completely unanticipated, and everything changed for her in an instant.

Holistic Wealth: is âWealth that not only comprises your net worth and material possessions, but also your physical health, your emotional state and having a life purpose. All these ingredients come together to give you a wholeness and make you more resilient.â
Kisha was financially independent at the time of her husbandâs passing. She has always believed in having âa well-planned future.â Listen in as she breaks down holistic wealth and some tips to get your through life's disruptions. Here are a few tools you can use from Keisha:
