How to Retire Early with an Average Income and Intentional Living

In this episode of The Extreme Personal Finance Show, I sit down with Rob Pietz! He's a guy who completely destroys the myth that you need a high-powered salary to achieve financial independence early.

Rob built his entire retirement plan on average middle-class income, frugal living, smart decisions, DIY home upgrades, intentional career changes, and consistent investing.

We dig into:

How Rob used Social Security income data to track his lifetime earnings

The shockingly “modest” income timeline of a couple who still retired early

Paying yourself first even when it feels like “living paycheck to paycheck”

Building wealth while raising kids, changing careers, and going back to school

Downsizing, becoming mortgage-free, and designing a more walkable lifestyle

Avoiding lifestyle creep while still enjoying life

Why your 20s are the most powerful investing decade you’ll ever have

How to think about travel, the “go-go” years, and building purpose after retirement

Why mindset beats income. Every time!

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t make enough to retire early,” this episode is your wake-up call. Rob proves you can build financial freedom on normal income with a six-figure mindset, not a six-figure paycheck.
