Mindy Jensen: 我和Scott的目标是帮助更多人实现财务自由，无论他们从哪里开始。我们很高兴邀请到Dave Fleischer，一位财务独立的教师，来分享他的故事，特别是对于教师或中等收入者，他提供了宝贵的经验和策略。 Scott Trench: 我认为Dave的经历表明，即使收入不高，通过明智的财务规划和投资，也能实现财务独立。他的故事对于那些认为财务自由遥不可及的人来说，是一个极大的鼓舞。 Dave Fleischer: 我想告诉大家，我和我的妻子都不是什么特别的人。我高中成绩不好，妻子也没上过大学。但通过共同努力和明智的财务决策，我们实现了财务自由。我会向我的学生展示我们的净资产，让他们知道他们也能做到。重要的是，要改变心态，不要被高消费的生活方式所迷惑，而是要注重储蓄和投资。
