In this hard-hitting episode, we are joined by Rob Phelan, a high school personal finance and math teacher who works with ChooseFI to implement a financial independence (FI) curriculum in K through 12 schools. Rob discusses his own journey into personal finance, the importance of teaching kids about financial literacy, and the launch of a free K-12 financial education curriculum sponsored by the ChooseFI International Foundation. Rob's message emphasizes the significance of avoiding lifestyle inflation and making thoughtful financial choices, especially for those who are starting on their careers, to achieve long-term financial independence.
