Building a nearly $1 million dollar portfolio with 5 kids and an average salary of $37,000 sounds impossible. But Brittany did it. Teacher wealth doesn’t have to be limited by our salary. It’s not about our paycheck so much as it is about how we manage our money, and Brittany is living proof of that! Find out how she did it in the episode.

Bonus Tip
Here is a bonus tip I didn't get to in the episode.
If you don’t have kids it may be easy to ignore this episode, but the principles still apply to adults. It is easier to maintain a lower lifestyle if you’ve never inflated your lifestyle to begin with. Keep your expectations in check and don’t inflate your lifestyle and you will be much happier in this journey rather than inflating yourlifestyle then having reality set in and need to unravel it.
