Retiring at 33 - The Simple Approach to Wealth with Myra Oliver - Episode 30

Straight Up, No Bullshit: The Don Handston Show

In Episode #30 of "Straight Up. No Bullshit," Markus Loving & Don Handston talk with Myra Oliver, a successful real estate broker, investor and entrepreneur who retired at the age of 33. Myra is the author of the bestselling book "Down Home Money: A Simple Approach to Financial Freedom" and she's here to share her strategies for breaking free from debt and consumerism to live life on your own terms.

Myra's journey began as a hairstylist in Texas, where she bought her first house at age 20. She then started investing in real estate, purchasing 10 rental properties by the time she was 33 years old. These properties were generating $5,000 per month, allowing Myra's husband to quit his job as a police officer. Myra then sold her hair salon to pursue financial freedom fully.

Throughout the interview, Myra emphasizes that it's not how much money you make, but what you do with it that matters. She shares how she was able to achieve retirement in her 30s through strategic saving, investing in assets like real estate and the stock market, and avoiding the trappings of consumerism. Myra stresses the importance of creating a budget, tracking every penny spent, and cutting unnecessary expenses in order to free up money for investing.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling to achieve financial freedom. Myra's simple yet powerful strategies can help listeners break the cycle of debt and live a life of independence. Whether you're just starting your financial journey or looking to take it to the next level, Myra's insights and experience will inspire you to take control of your money and your future.
