Home ownership, no matter how old you are and when you achieve it, is a huge decision to make. You don’t want to base decisions solely on emotions but also measure them against your goals and other dreams. Millennial Homeowner, Lauren Bowling, purchased a home with the expectation that her and her then-boyfriend would live in it after they got married. She put a nice downpayment on the purchase and began a $68,000 renovation three months before their breakup. While her situation didn’t turn out so bad - she nets about $400 a month in renting it out to tenants - Lauren realizes some mistakes were made and wrote a book about it.

What a great show we have today! Today, we have a young lady, Lauren Bowling, on who was a theater major and graduated with no student loan debt. Her parents made sure she had no student loans. The foe of most every college student got her though, credit cards. She finished college with thousands in debt and a dream. Lauren Bowling dreamed of being an actor in New York city. With $300 and her dream, she left home for New York. Soon after she arrived between the debt and lack of acting jobs, Lauren was forced to take an administrative job at a hedge fund company. Lauren spent her time there paying down her debt and learning from the fiscally responsible people working at the hedge fund. After Lauren paid off her debt, she started to pursue her acting, only to find she didn't really enjoy it. She didn't really love the audition process. She said her nerves would often get the best of her. She often didn't perform at her best. Lauren decided to head back home and take up residence with her parents. Lauren didn't stay with her parents' house too long. She received a bonus from the hedge fund and decided to put it towards a house. Lauren's dream house quickly turned to a house of horrors when her home repairs outstripped her home repair loan and she found herself in $8,000 in debt. Reeling from a recent breakup and in debt Lauren spent a year finding her equilibrium. In 2015, Lauren regained her footing, she got serious about her. Lauren set up a plan to pay off $8,000 in 90 days. Lauren hit her goal of paying off $8,000 in 90 days. How you might ask did she do this? It turns out Lauren had started a blog, L Bee and the Money Tree to discuss money and her journey with it back in 2012. She also started doing some free lance writing. She over the next two years and 2,000 blog posts, she built her reputation. She also built a know like and trust factor with her audience. It was the free lance writing that allowed her to accelerate the pay off of her debt. She also discovered something else. She discovered she could make enough hustling as a free lance writer to leave her day job. What started off as a problem, a house with excessive repair bills, resulted in an opportunity to leave her day job and pursue a new life. Lauren also shared a personal story of a shopping addiction. She spoke of how shopping was comfort for what she felt lacking. She attended therapy sessions to get control of her addiction. I thought it was brave of her to tell this personal story on my show. I believe her bravery in sharing this story, will touch someone out there who needed to hear her story. Give this episode a listen, I know you'll enjoy!

Money Mastermind Show: Personal Finance | Investing | Retirement | Entrepreneurship
Lauren Bowling from L Bee and the Moneytree joins us this week to explain why having multiple streams of income is quickly becoming not just a pleasant luxury, but for many young people at least, a real necessity in the quest for financial security. Tune in as Lauren and the panel discuss not only why pumping up your bank account from several different sources is important, but to breakdown some strategies they’ve used in order to generate several different streams of income. https://moneymastermindshow.com/episode32-creating-multiple-streams-of-income/ Some important questions discussed in this episode: Do real people actually have “multiple streams of income” or is this just another thing for people with a net worth in the top 1%? If I have a second job am I already doing everything I can when it comes to diversifying my income sources? Tom’s tell us why his favorite quote is, “7-2 in the morning is plenty of time to do damage,” by Gary Vaynerchuks. Are dividends and real estate doable as streams of income for “normal people”? What are the downsides to pursuing all these income streams?
