In this episode of the Journey to Launch Podcast, I'm welcoming back Andy Hill, award-winning family finance coach and the voice behind Marriage, Kids & Money, and this conversation is all about what it truly means to own your time. Andy shares how he and his wife intentionally used money as a tool to gain flexibility, move away from the corporate grind, and design a life centered around family, health, and presence. We talk honestly about the financial moves that made this possible, the mistakes along the way, and how redefining "wealth" helped them build a life they actually enjoy living. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Andy and his wife aligned on shared values and used money to gain more time with their family Why paying off debt, reaching Coast FIRE, and lowering fixed expenses created real flexibility The emotional side of aggressive saving, marriage tension, and finding a healthier middle ground How building "FU money" made entrepreneurship and part-time work possible without panic & much more!
