Ep. 415 | Chasing Financial Freedom from Across the World - Natasha Etschmann and Ana Kresina

Isn't it amazing how, no matter where you live in the world, we can all be doing the exact same thing like chasing financial freedom? Sure, there may be different tax rules, account types, and even strategies depending on the country, but at the end of the day, the actual steps to build wealth and achieve your financial goals can look the same no matter where you live.

To prove this point, I invited Natasha Etschmann and Ana Kresina on the podcast who both live in Australia. Ana is originally from Canada (we went to the same university!), so she has a unique perspective on personal finance in Canada and Australia. Natasha has become one of the biggest financial content creators in Australia with a following in the hundreds of thousands.

Together, they've teamed up to write the book How To Not Work Forever: Start Investing and Build a Life You Love to help people in Australia and anywhere in the world achieve financial freedom so they can, well, not work forever. Ana also wrote the book Kids Ain't Cheap: How to Plan Financially for Parenthood and Your Family's Future to help parents navigate the financial change of becoming a parent.
