Harmonizing Work Aspirations with Family Ambitions
Episode Details
Being a caring parent and a career-driven individual can be difficult. How do we continue to be successful in our growing careers AND raise our children with the love they deserve over their most impressionable years?
Big questions like this are always better with really smart friends so I thought I’d answer this one with Certified Financial Planner and Founder of Beyond Your Hammock, Eric Roberge.
Second, we’re back with our Work From Anywhere segment featuring real estate investor Chad "Coach" Carson. He’s going to share how to make $10,000 per month from rental properties.

See moreIn this episode of the "Marriage, Kids, and Money" podcast, host Andy Hill explores the challenges and strategies of balancing career aspirations with family life, featuring two main segments. The first segment features a discussion with Certified Financial Planner Eric Roberge, who offers insights into managing professional ambitions while nurturing a family. Eric emphasizes the importance of intentional planning and financial preparedness, proposing the concept of "income optionality," which allows individuals to work part-time or not at all once they've achieved financial stability. He discusses practical steps for achieving this, such as building a substantial savings and making thoughtful investment choices based on your timeline to ensure flexibility in your career and family life. In the second segment, Andy introduces Chad Carson from the Coach Carson Podcast. Chad shares his journey of building a successful and manageable rental real estate business designed to generate $10,000 per month, allowing him to work fewer hours and travel with his family. He outlines a straightforward approach to real estate investing, which starts with "house hacking" – living in one unit of a multi-unit property while renting out the others. Chad explains the importance of forming partnerships and building strong networks within the real estate community, stressing the value of being either the person with the time and skill to manage properties or the investor with the capital. His practical advice showcases that while real estate investment initially demands considerable effort, it can eventually become a relatively passive income stream with the right systems and management in place. Together, these segments emphasize that balancing career growth and family life is feasible with intentional financial planning and smart investment strategies. Key takeaways include the concept of becoming "income optional," leveraging investments to create more family time, and the benefits of building a small yet profitable real estate portfolio. Both Eric and Chad highlight that while achieving this balance requires upfront effort and sacrifice, the long-term rewards of financial freedom and quality time with family are well worth it.
