If you’ve ever had a distaste for frugality, this is the episode for you.
Today’s guest has a background in fashion design, but could care less about fashion. Mindy Jensen is the community manager at BiggerPockets.com. She shops at thrift stores, and keeps expenses as low as possible. If this sounds like torture to you, it’s actually the opposite. She does this so that she can spend heavily on areas that matter to her.
In this episode we talk about paying off $60,000 in 5 years, why everyone should embrace frugality, why she doesn’t care about fashion despite studying fashion design, how she and her husband invest and flip in fixer upper homes, and she even shares how she carried drywall in her car at one point.
