How do you want that confidence?!
It’s true although – I’m (thrilled to be on the) So Cash podcast once more! 🤑
And I used to be a little bit nervous, not gonna lie… it’s been a sizzling minute since I used to be final on a present, however that rapidly pale as Farnoosh and I received going as a result of it’s like reuniting with household. I used to be one among her first friends when her podcast first launched, and now right here we’re over 10 years later simply selecting up the convo the place we left it!
It’s enjoyable to learn the abstract of that first episode too in comparison with this new one:

“I’m very excited to introduce at present’s visitor. He is without doubt one of the most influential monetary bloggers of our time and the founder of two private finance web sites BudgetsareSexy.com and RockstarFinance.com. He additionally coaches individuals fascinated with running a blog and launching an internet enterprise. His title is J. Cash.
Like many people, J. struggled with cash and made some poor selections early on. So what did he do? He determined to weblog about. In 2008 he began his private finance weblog, BudgetsareSexy.com, to trace his spending and hold himself accountable. And that labored! Since then, he’s constructed his web price to over half 1,000,000 {dollars}… by doing what he loves!
Three takeaways from our interview:
- Why house possession will not be for everybody (J$ <– Nonetheless consider this!)

- Superior recommendations on decreasing your telephone invoice … (Farnoosh: and I simply received mine and on account of knowledge overages, my invoice was an additional $100 this month. I’m severely contemplating switching plans. That is absurd.)
Our favourite quote from at present’s interview: “I’m difficult myself each week to do away with extra stuff.””

After which right here is the write-up on the present that simply went reside!
“For so long as I’ve identified him — which is now greater than fifteen years — he’s had the identical signature look: a pointy mohawk and a fair sharper perspective on cash.
Right this moment on So Cash, we welcome again one of many authentic voices of the private finance web: J. Cash, the longtime blogger behind Budgets Are Horny and the founding father of Rockstar Finance, a platform that helped form the early private finance running a blog neighborhood. When this podcast first launched greater than a decade in the past, J. Cash was one among my earliest friends – again when sharing your web price on-line was thought-about radical and the concept of constructing a profession from a weblog about cash was nonetheless fairly new.
On this dialog, we make amends for what’s modified – and what hasn’t. The mohawk remains to be there, fortunately. However J.’s life appears to be like very totally different today. He’s stepped away from running a blog full-time, offered his website to The Motley Idiot and later purchased it again, and now spends a lot of his time operating one thing referred to as a “Free Closet,” freely giving hundreds of clothes objects each week to individuals in want in his neighborhood.
We speak concerning the early days of the money-blogging world – when transparency about debt, financial savings, and web price helped inspire a complete era to take management of their funds. We additionally speak about what occurs once you truly attain monetary independence. Does cash cease mattering? What motivates you subsequent?
J. shares why the running a blog magic ultimately pale for him, how social media modified the tone of non-public finance conversations, the shocking classes he’s realized from working intently with unhoused communities, and why he believes the true energy of cash is just the liberty not to consider it anymore.

So enjoyable to mirror and absorb all that’s modified on this time… You do quite a lot of issues in 10 years! New jobs, initiatives, strikes, births, deaths, extra grey hairs, NEEDING READING GLASSES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YOUR LIFE! (I swear – I did nothing totally different after which in the future BAM – the whole lot’s blurry in entrance of me. How??!)
If there was a quote to be tacked onto this episode like the primary one, it will have been this:
“By no means quit on a dream simply due to the time it’ll take to perform it. The time will go anyway. – Earl Nightingale
A great reminder to get going on one thing that’s essential to you 🙏
Thanks for having me on once more Farnoosh, and I’ll see you in one other 10 years, God prepared!
