I'll be honest — I almost didn't record this episode. After talking about it with Andrea (my wife) and praying about it, we decided we were going to share more of our story. This wasn't easy. Not many people are willing to talk about the REAL life money. Here goes...this past month we officially passed $1 million net worth. And there is way more to the story that Andrea and I are sharing on the show today. No, we do not make $1 million. (Not even close) No, it did not happen quickly. No, it wasn't super easy. No, we are nowhere near perfect when it comes to money. However, we hit one of our goals. We can officially say we are "millionaires". And it feels really damn good! But, how did this happen? Where did we start (Hint: we had a huge negative net worth)? And how could someone else accomplish this? We discuss all of this and more on this week's one-of-a-kind show! ** Mentioned in this episode Free App to Track Your Net Worth from Personal Capital Free Spreadsheet Template to Track Your Net Worth from WalletHacks.com ** Are you currently living on a plan for your life and money...AKA a budget?

Jim Wang has been able to sell his first successful blog for seven figures and take on a number of projects since, including starting another website in the personal finance space. Miranda Marquit talks to Jim about the process of starting and selling his first website as well as the challenges in moving on after letting go of his “baby”. Jim talks about what it takes to create a website of value The struggle to forge a new path when you give up something you create He shares his feelings about failure How did he approach building up Wallet Hacks with the changing personal finance landscape Jim gives his best advice for someone who is starting a website Jim Wang has been writing about personal finance for over 15 years, most recently at WalletHacks.com where he shares his strategies for getting ahead financially and in life.

Sponsors: Master Your Money Super Bundle: This one’s not a sponsor but an amazing deal and every purchase supports the show. The Master Your Money Super Bundle is a collection of 45 courses, ebooks, printables and videos to help you do better in all areas of your money. Whether that’s budgeting, paying off debt, investing, making more money, whatever. The bundle has over $1200 worth of resources in it but you can get it for only $49.97 when you visit frugalfriendspodcast.com/masteryourmoney Hidden fees: These are fees we didn’t tell you about. But you still have to pay them. You’re probably here because we advertised a great deal but you forgot to check the fees and now you’re too invested go elsewhere, that’s what we were hoping. Nobody likes fees, that’s why we hide them, sometimes in the fine print, other times in the poor product we make so you have to give us more money to get another one in a few years. Hidden fees, squeezing every last dime out of you since always. Notable Notes What the Internet has to say: This article from To Love, Honor, and Vacuum gives a list of 6 things that are not worth being frugal. What Jen + Jill have to say: We like the reasoning for the times when it's worth spending more: (1) because it might cost you more in the long run to go with the less expensive option or (2) because it will make a tremendous difference in your life! Items not worth 'going cheap': Beds - and we agree! HOWEVER you can still find good secondhand options Shoes - YES - sometimes that good, comfortable, long-lasting, versatile shoe is worth the money! A few nice outfits - again, we agree - when mixing and matching from the thrift store is not working - spend a little extra on some nice clothes! Last minute meals - it's ok to spend some extra money when time is short! We also recommend meal planning - get a good jump start with our affiliate: Cook Smarts and use code: frugal for 25% off Food delivery - we say 'maybe' - this all depends on lifestyle and whether this is a good option for you! Housekeeping - but we would add, hiring any service that you could technically do yourself. If life circumstances afford for this to be in the budget - it can be economically responsible (Check out Episode 1: Frugality 101 - talked about giving jobs to others) More from the Internet: This article from Wallet Hacks explores 4 common 'frugal tips' that actually are not worth it - and can end up costing you more! More from Jen + Jill: We like the what this article had to say about frugality being about mindfulness and making wise decisions with your money rather than just doing everything the cheapest way possible! Frugal Tips to Ignore: DIY repairs - as the article points out 'there's a fine line between money-saving and downright dangerous' - and may cost more in the long-run if not fixed properly Extreme Couponing - we covered this one in our previous episode Couponing for Extra Normal People Getting the cheapest (or no) insurance - compare rates instead, negotiate, etc. but have insurance! Adhering to a Rice and Beans diet - it's important to get proper nutrition, so we also recommend not setting up camp here if it's not necessary! Bottom line - we’re walking a tight rope - be careful of falling into ‘cheap’ territory BILL OF THE WEEK - Thank you Lucy for sharing your bill with us!

For this episode of the podcast, I talk with veteran personal finance blogger Jim Wang about how he was able to sell his first blog (Bargaineering) for 6-figures after having it for just 5 years, and what some of his best wallet hacks are that he shares on his current blog, the aptly named Wallet Hacks. Long description: For this episode of the podcast, I talk with veteran personal finance blogger Jim Wang about how he was able to sell his first blog (Bargaineering) for 6-figures after having it for just 5 years, then we dive into some of his top wallet hacks that he now shares on his current website, Wallet Hacks. First, let’s go back to the part where he shares that he was able to sell his first blog for a million dollars. There aren’t too many bloggers out there that I know have who have been able to do this (aside from JD Roth of Get Rich Slowly), so this is pretty impressive. What’s even more impressive is how frickin’ humble Jim is! You would never know that he’s financially independent and pretty much just living that best life from talking to him. He just comes off as a normal guy who write about money hacks for living at home. Which I guess he is, but still, sold his blog for 6-figures, I still can’t get over that! Anywho, after selling that blog, he started up a new one called Wallet Hacks, which as you can guess is all about tips, hacks and strategies to optimize your dollars, be smart with your money, and become financial secure. Here are some of the hacks he shared with me in this episode. The Secret Santa Hack You may already know about doing a Secret Santa hack. It’s fairly popular in the office during the holidays (also in The Office, one of my favourite shows). This is something I’ve actually been able to take out of the workplace and integrate into my family life. All it requires is instead of buying gifts for everyone, you get assigned a person (in secret), buy them a gift, and then gift it to them on Christmas. Someone else is assigned you, and someone else is assigned that person and so on. My family has been doing this gift exchange for two years now, and I’ve got to say, it’s amazing. We don’t have any young kids in our family anymore, which makes it easier, but it really is a big financial relief each Christmas. The holidays are an expensive, even without gifts, so this is a huge life saver. Amazon Hacks Jim doesn’t just have one hack for Amazon.com, he has 16! But, if you’re Canadian, I can’t confirm if all the hacks work for Amazon.ca, but you never know. You can read about all 16 Amazon hacks on his website, but here are just a few of them: If you’ve never used the app, download it, find a promo code like MARTH549N, and get $5 in credit. Get $1 in credit for ebooks, digital videos and more when you choose no rush shipping. Purchase from out-of-state third-party sellers to avoid sales tax. Track Your Net Worth This isn’t really a hack, but man is it a good thing to do. I’ve been tracking my net worth as well as my spending for over a year now, and it’s changed the game for me. Jim has been doing it for more than a decade, and he says it’s a big reason he’s been able to stay on track financially all these years. If you want to start tracking your net worth, here’s my free net worth spreadsheet to get started. Get Credit Card Payment Notifications Another thing Jim does to curb his spending is getting notifications or emails directly to his phone whenever he makes a credit card purchase. Not only does this help him know instantly if any fraudulent purchases are being made with his card, but it also reminds him of how much he’s spending. This is something I’m going to set up right now, because the one thing I hate about using my credit card is it’s just way to easy to tap and pay and forget about what you just bought.

Can a hobby of writing about personal finance lead to becoming financially independent in a very short time? It did for Jim Wang, my guest on today's show.

Ultimately, it led to Jim's becoming financially independent in a shockingly short amount of time. In today's interview, we seek to go behind the story a bit. To learn about the personal story and lessons learned from Jim's experiences. He has a lot to share that's very applicable to all of our lives. Enjoy!

Our guest today is a pioneer financial blogger, one of the first to sell his blog for 7 figures. Jim Wang founded Bargaineering.com. It was a side hobby that eventually brought in a full time income — and then less than 5 years later he sold the site for $3 million. PS. He says he started the blog because he was bored! Today Jim has a new online venture, a website called Wallethacks.com, launched last fall. It’s pretty spectacular in its vision and delivery. Articles, tools and tips on building money systems, how to live fully, save, spend wisely and pay down debt. Jim’s been featured in the New York Times, Baltimore Sun, Entrepreneur and Marketplace Money. And now, excited to say, on this podcast. He also created a special link for So Money listeners offering an exclusive contest and some great materials so check it out by visiting wallethacks.com/somoney. Three takeaways from our time together... His growth strategy for Wallethacks and how it will differ from how he built his first successful blog. Growing up with immigrant parents.
