This is the first of our new “Jumpstart Your Wealth” series to help first-time home buyers and investors jumpstart their real estate experience. And the first topic we’d like to address is “Getting Out of Debt.”  We had an amazing husband-and-wife team on the show last year to talk about their efforts to eliminate debt and get into real estate, so we’re reposting that interview as the first Jumpstart episode.   Meet Ali & Josh Lupo, better known as “The FI Couple.” The FI stands for “financial independence” which they have now obtained. But in this interview you’ll hear what they were up against and how they restructured their financial world to fix that problem and gain financial independence. If you listened to it before, it’s worth listening to again! It’s THAT good!   Ali & Josh talk about their humble beginnings as college students pursuing degrees in social service and a wedding that provided a big wake-up call about their finances. It was bad. They had a whole lot of debt and knew they had to do something about it. You’ll get all the details in this interview along with another important part of their strategy – to make sure they have a shared vision and goals.   You may have seen them on social media. They love to share their experiences on Instagram as The FI Couple and have amassed a huge following. Once you are enchanted by them in this interview, you can find out more at their website www.theficouple.com or @theficouple on Instagram.    My hubby and partner, Rich Fettke, is co-host in this episode. He is a long-time coach who loves to help people realize their dreams and live their best lives. He recently published a book called “The Wise Investor” that also offers lessons about money management and financial freedom. Check it out at Amazon!    Thanks for listening!
