Show Notes

Lauren and Steven Keys from @tripofalifestyle retired from their full-time jobs before turning 30 by following a simple financial roadmap that helped them reduce their expenses, increase their incomes, and invest enough money to retire well before the traditional age of 65. These days, they travel nearly full-time and love exploring national parks.
In this episode, we discuss Lauren and Steven’s strategy of going for cards with high sign-up bonuses, cashing out the points, and putting that cash into investment accounts to fuel their lifestyle and avoid points devaluing.
