Financially Independent Teachers
Welcome to the Financially Independent Teachers Podcast- where educators come together to discuss their journey on the road to financial independence. Each week, Dave and Brandon interview teachers who are winning with money and welcome financial industry experts like JL Collins, Andy Hill, Andrew Hallam (Millionaire Teacher) and Rachel Cruze (daughter of Dave Ramsey). There are plenty of voices in the teachers' lounge telling you that you can't build wealth on an educator income, let FIT provide hope that you CAN!

EP 228-NC Music Teacher Has 27 Doors Part I
Becky and Rusty were a typical middle class family with a duplex and their single-family home. Becky was a music teacher (public and private), while Rusty worked at the local paper mill near Roanoke Rapids (NC). As a family, their average gross salary per year ranged from 100k-125k per year.
In part I, we talk about how the couple who has been married for 26 years met, their roles in the workplace, raising 3 kids, and how being a teacher can position you to make an even bigger impact with rental properties in the town you teach in. We also dive into their drive to learn more about the stock market and invest their time, money and energy into learning more, turning some family pain into gain.
