Show Notes

Imagine that you decided you were going to put all of your possessions into storage (and I do mean ALL of them), except for ONE outfit….maybe a sleeping bag, a tent, a bit of food….And that literally everything that you’d use for the next 5 months, you had to carry on your back for 12 hours a day.

Krista Edwards (founder of Ready to Roth blog and podcast), did that very thing: she left her job, home, and possessions to hike the Pacific Crest Trail for just over 5 months, recently returning, and had some surprising revelations about what "home" really meant to her. Her change of perspective even affected what she decided to spend money upon her return.

In Episode #85 we dig into  how difficult or easy it can be to give it all up and what "home" means when you finally return. Krista and I also talk about the importance of getting started with investing in a Roth IRA to build tax-free income for yourself and your kids.
