Eran Galperin bootstrapped a niche SaaS for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gyms, sold it for $32.5 million, moved to Japan, and is now quietly living the FIRE dream — with a few luxury upgrades.
Here’s what we talk about:
- How Eran went from $15K in the bank to a $32M exit (with 90% equity!)
- Why he ignored VCs and chose to bootstrap — and how it paid off years later
- The long, slow ramp: 4 years to $12K MRR, 8 years to $3M ARR
- The FIRE mindset that guided his financial decisions from day one
- How and why he moved to Japan — including taxes, cost of living, and lifestyle
- What it actually cost to move abroad and build a luxury home in Tokyo
- His full post-exit portfolio breakdown (hint: most of it’s in index funds)
- What it’s like working after the exit — and why he’s still showing up
- The one splurge that changed his mindset about spending
- The emotional reality of selling your company — and why it felt more like relief than celebration
- Why he's mentoring early-stage founders and learning real estate development — just for fun

What does it take to turn a blue-collar business into a billion-dollar empire?
For Tommy Mello, the answer is simple: relentless competition, strategic investing, and an unwavering commitment to winning. From painting garage doors to building A1 Garage Doors into a massive industry leader, Tommy has played the long game—and he’s not slowing down anytime soon.
Tommy’s story is one of grit, sacrifice, and scale. He didn’t just grow a company; he mastered the art of exiting, reinvesting, and building wealth. Along the way, he’s made millionaires out of his employees, leveraged private equity deals to scale faster, and learned how to play the financial game at the highest level. Now, with multiple future exits planned, he’s focused on securing generational wealth and creating massive impact.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to go from small business to billionaire status, Tommy’s playbook is one you don’t want to miss.

Most founders feel isolated after selling their company. Chris and David Sinkinson didn’t—because they had each other.
The brothers built and sold their startup, AppArmor, for $40 million. But unlike many founders who struggle with identity and purpose post-exit, they had a built-in support system: each other. With a 10-year age gap and complementary skills, they navigated the highs and lows of entrepreneurship as a team. And when they suddenly found themselves financially free, their brotherhood kept them from making reckless decisions—or jumping into the next venture too soon.
In this episode, Chris and David share how selling their company impacted their relationship, their investments, and their sense of purpose. We dive into:

What if the key to success wasn’t grinding harder—but learning to let go?
Chris Bakke made 10s of millions selling two companies, including one to Elon Musk’s Twitter. But after years of chasing big wins, something changed: he had kids. And suddenly, the drive that once defined him wasn’t as important as being present for his family.
Chris started as a scrappy startup founder, building and selling multiple companies for over $50 million each. He worked directly with Elon, made bold investments, and built a net worth of $25 million (or 50 depending on how you value Twitter stock). But fatherhood led him to reevaluate everything—including his ambition in the tech world.
In this episode, Chris opens up about how becoming a dad reshaped his perspective on work, money, and happiness. We dive into:

What if chasing curiosity, not cash, was the key to a richer, more fulfilling life?
Peter Wokwicz turned his relentless curiosity into a $500 million fortune—and found happiness along the way.
Peter didn’t build his wealth by following the typical playbook. Instead of just chasing cash, he let his curiosity lead the way—and it’s resulted in over 40 successful exits, groundbreaking innovations, and a life that’s anything but boring. Now, with a thriving family office and a long list of projects, Peter spends his time doing what excites him most and making an impact in the process.
In this episode, Peter reveals how leaning into curiosity can create more fulfillment than any paycheck. We dive into:

Are you obsessively checking your portfolio—or avoiding it entirely? What’s the right approach to managing your money post-exit?
In this Mini-Wise episode, Sam Parr breaks down how three ultra-wealthy entrepreneurs—Chuck (net worth: hundreds of millions), Travis (net worth: $50M), and Anne Mahlum (net worth: $100M+)—handle the mental rollercoaster of market fluctuations. Each shares their unique strategy, from completely logging off to obsessively staying informed, and how these choices impact their peace of mind and financial outcomes.
Chuck sold his company for $2.5 billion but realized his daily portfolio check-ins were ruining his mood, so he outsourced entirely. Travis stopped compulsively tracking his investments and focused on growing his next business instead. Meanwhile, Anne Mahlum embraces daily oversight, crediting her disciplined research and comfort with market dips as key to her 20%+ portfolio growth.

Why do we let numbers define us—and what happens when they finally stop moving?

RE-RUN
If you have the money to put anything you could possibly want in your home, should you do it?
This episode’s guest, “Hank” did, and as a result, his home ended up being 24,000 square feet.
But with 24,000 square feet, there is a lot to go wrong. So are the upkeep, repairs, and bills worth the square footage? Can a home with all the fancy features you can imagine actually bring more joy to your life?
Building (or buying) a house this size is no small feat, and there are numerous things to consider before pulling the trigger, such as your stage in life, your family situation, and how much you enjoy your free time.
In this episode we explore the mega house. We’ll learn about who this type of home is for, the pros, the cons, and all the caveats to be aware of. And this is Moneywise, so we’ll get into all the nitty gritty numbers to learn how “Hank” can afford a home this massive and all of the expenses associated with it. He’ll also share if he ever plans on moving.
We even speak with Ryan Thewes, an architect who designs private residences in the Nashville area. He shares the most commonly requested features, the type of clients he typically gets, and the coolest things he’s ever designed. And we have him answer the question: Would you ever move into one of these mega mansions yourself?
By the end of the episode, if you are convinced that a mega mansion is right for you, we’ll leave you with some advice on how you should go about making your dream home a reality.

There was a time when Neil Patel said a $15k/month burn rate was all he needed. But now his monthly burn is $200k. Roughly. He’s not completely certain… because he doesn’t budget. So what changed in his life to make his burn rate increase nearly 14 fold? That’s what this episode is going to find out.
Neil Patel is a household name (for marketers). He’s an entrepreneur and blogger known for his expertise in digital marketing and SEO. He co-founded companies like Crazy Egg, Hello Bar, and KISSmetrics, but his biggest company is his namesake, Neil Patel Digital.
In this episode, Neil not only explains how and why his spending has evolved to the point where he’s burning $2.4 million a year, he’ll also break down where that money is going, how it compares to his income, investments, and savings, and why he doesn’t feel the need to set a budget.
He’ll also get candid about how he uses his money to bring joy to his life, and he’ll share how soon he plans on being a billionaire.

What’s the real cost of building wealth—and how do you stay grounded after achieving it?
Steve Houghton, a billionaire entrepreneur, has a life philosophy that’s as intentional as his business strategies. From self-made success to crafting a fulfilling personal life, Steve shares the five pillars that help him stay healthy, happy, and wealthy.
Steve’s journey started with selling books as a teenager, earning the equivalent of $100,000 today, and grew to building successful ventures in real estate and oil and gas.

In this episode, Steve explains how he grew from a frugal Utah upbringing to managing a fortune. He breaks down his five-pillar framework for a wealthy life: financial, emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health.

Imagine being worth $150 million. Liquid.
Now imagine being worth that much, and only spending $5,000 a month.
That’s the reality for this episode’s guest.
“Cam” is going to share a lot of financial details with us, so he’s asked to remain anonymous. What we can tell you, is that he made most of his money when a business he started went public at a valuation of around a billion dollars. That happened in his late 30s.
In his early 30s, Cam was still only worth a couple grand. There’re a lot of crazy stories in between that we’ll hear about in this episode. Including how his first million was almost accidental.
We’ll also explore why Cam’s monthly spend is so low, how his value of privacy and the impact money has on relationships plays into that, and where that $5k goes every month.
On top of that, we’ll get into the nitty gritty about how he’s saving and investing the rest of his money, as well as the kind of spending that brings Cam genuine joy.

What happens when wealth pushes your relationships to the limit?
Navigating life after a massive financial windfall isn’t easy—it can transform your life, your marriage, and your happiness in unexpected ways.
Our guest, Chuck, shares his story of selling his company for $2.5 billion and the emotional and relational challenges that followed. His perspective is shaped not only by his own journey but also by a family history of building and losing fortunes.
Chuck’s background is as bold as it gets. By 28, he was making $800K a year in sales, but he risked it all to build a company from scratch. That gamble paid off, with his business growing to hundreds of millions in revenue before selling in a deal that changed his life forever. However, the wealth brought its own struggles—unexpected divides in his marriage, a sense of purpose lost, and lessons about how money can either enhance or destroy a family.

What happens when the big exit doesn’t fill the void?
Josh Payne thought selling his company for $80 million would be the defining moment of his life. Instead, it sent him into one of the darkest periods he’d ever experienced.
Josh’s story is a testament to the complexity of success. As the founder of StackCommerce, Josh grew his company from $0 to $32 million in annual revenue, eventually selling it for a life-changing sum. But with his emotional wellbeing tied so closely to his business success, he found himself struggling to find purpose once his goal was achieved.
In this episode, you’ll learn how Josh’s early years in the Midwest shaped his drive for entrepreneurship, what it felt like to grow a company from nothing to millions—and why he struggled when growth slowed, the challenges and emotions of selling his business and suddenly becoming a multi-millionaire, as well as how he found his way out of post-sale depression through therapy, family, and physical challenges like completing an Ironman and why Josh is now building a new company—but this time, with a focus on joy, service, and sustainability.

What would you do if you became a millionaire at 18? For MLB pitcher Jacob Turner, the real question was: how do I make sure I don't lose it all?
Jacob signed a $7 million contract with the Detroit Tigers as a teenager, and suddenly, his life changed overnight. While most of us can’t imagine dealing with that level of wealth so young, Jacob had to figure it out fast—and he didn’t want to be another cautionary tale of an athlete who blew it all.
Jacob Turner isn’t just a former MLB pitcher—he’s a financial expert with a mission. After a decade in professional sports, he transitioned into the financial world to help athletes and entrepreneurs navigate wealth.

Ever wondered what it feels like to be the richest person in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere?
Today’s guest, Travis, is worth $50m, yet he’s never been tempted to leave his hometown of 2400 people.
Travis has already had an exit of $25m, and he’s about to double that with a second exit. Now he’s navigating life as the local big shot. From curious neighbors asking about his money to balancing wealth without being flashy, Travis shares the surprising perks—and awkward challenges—of being a big fish in a very small pond.
In this episode, Travis shares why he chose to keep his family and business in a small town and why he believes more people should consider doing the same. He reveals the highs and lows of small-town life after wealth, from nosy neighbors to giving back to his community in ways that wouldn’t be possible in a big city..

13 million dollars is a lot. But is it enough to retire on?
For pre-epiphany Ryan Begelman, the answer is no.
Ryan built his wealth working in the corporate world, then decided to risk it all and bought into Bisnow. That risk paid off, and Ryan made a huge profit. But despite his successes, he found himself grappling with lifestyle inflation, misguided investments, and financial uncertainty.
In this episode, Ryan opens up about his struggles with managing wealth after a big exit, how flashy spending left him unprepared, and why life coaching became the tool that helped him find real security. We dive deep into his financial epiphany, his coaching career, and how he halved his spending while learning to respect money in a whole new way.

Imagine waking up one day to find nearly everything you've worked for is gone.
Today’s guest, Domenic, lived through that nightmare.
His story begins at Facebook, where he was one of the early employees during the dawn of the social media era. He wisely took as much equity as possible, which paid off handsomely when the company went public. Despite his newfound wealth, a series of unfortunate decisions—risky investments, a poorly negotiated acquisition, and unforeseen personal losses—led him to lose nearly everything he had earned.
Domenic’s tale is not just about loss but about resilience. From growing up in a modest household in Southern Virginia to navigating the high-stakes world of Silicon Valley, he shares his experiences of building wealth, facing devastating setbacks, and the philosophy that keeps him moving forward.

Dating is already weird and vulnerable, but when you’re wealthy, talking finances can feel like dropping a bombshell.
In this episode, we explore the complexities of dating with significant wealth and how to handle the inevitable conversations about money.
Today's guest, who we'll call Alex, is worth around $133 million. His journey to wealth began with a company he founded with his now ex-wife, and he’s here to share his experiences on navigating the dating world post-divorce.
Alex started his entrepreneurial journey with multiple failed ventures before hitting success with his third company, which he co-founded with his ex-wife. After a difficult and non-amicable divorce, which involved complex asset division, Alex found himself back on the dating scene.
In this episode, Alex opens up about the unique anxieties of dating with a substantial net worth. He discusses how he avoids flaunting his wealth to prevent attracting the wrong kind of attention. We delve into the challenges of sharing financial details with new partners and the importance of finding someone who shares similar lifestyle values. Alex also shares practical advice on how to approach the conversation about money with transparency and integrity, and his personal experiences in navigating these waters.

Falling in love, getting married and spending the rest of your life together with someone can be one of the most magical things in the world. But when the matter of money gets involved, things can get well… complicated.
What was once a dream can very quickly become a nightmare and reveal something much more sinister. Which is what Jennifer experienced first-hand.
At the start of their marriage, Jennifer and her husband were on the same page on everything. Everything except how they were going to share their money.
In this episode, Jennifer shares the journey of their relationship and how things took a turn for the worse, and how amidst the calamity she figured out how not to lose everything. Money may not be everything, but it sure as hell makes a difference who you share it with.

How much money do you need to be happy?
Money alone is not going to make you a happy person, but it can sure as hell help you get there. Money can buy you security, time, health, and safety for you and your loved ones, and it can relieve stress when it comes to life's financial pressures.
To say that money can't impact your happiness is naive. But what we want to know is, when is enough, enough?
If you don't know that number, you can easily slip into the hole of always needing and wanting more, which inevitably takes away from your happiness. At a certain point, you start wasting your time and adding stress to your life in the never-ending pursuit of more.
So what is the threshold when it's time to end the chase and simply enjoy the life you've built for yourself?
In this episode, Ankur Nagpal shared his number. Ankur Nagpal is in his early thirties with a net worth north of nine figures. He started raking in money in college with his Facebook App business, but his real life-changing moment was when he sold his company Teachable for a quarter billion dollars. Now, he's the founder of fintech company Carry, formerly known as Ocho.
Ankur will tell us about the financial decisions he made that contributed to his happiness, the mistakes he made, and he's radically transparent about the numbers while he does so.
Sam will also share his own "happiness threshold" number, and we'll also get input from another guy who rakes in over $10 million a year.

Confidence is key, but confidence is earned.
And Anne Mahlum has earned hers.
She has dedicated her life to self-improvement and continuous learning. Because of that, combined with her insanely positive attitude, she’s built a networth of well over $100M.
Her confidence in herself is evident. In fact, she once turned down a significant investment into her start-up in favor of using her entire personal net worth instead.
In this episode, Anne reveals the origins of her drive and how it has evolved into a healthier motivation. She shares the stories of her nonprofit and for-profit ventures, complete with detailed financial insights. And Anne also opens up about her personal spending and investments, challenging the conventional wisdom of the “don’t spend your principal” rule.

Getting rich at any age is pretty cool. But being rich in your late teens and early 20s? Of course, that’s awesome, but it can be difficult to navigate wealth when you’re basically still a kid.
That was the case for my buddy, Andrew Wilkinson. He invested in and sold a few tech companies early on and thought he was set for life. He bought whatever he wanted. But he had a serious wake-up call in 2008 when the stock market crashed and he almost lost everything.
In this episode, Andrew shares a number of his wins and losses; from almost going bankrupt to crossing the nine-figure threshold. Being able to buy whatever you want, go wherever you want and do whatever you want is great. But so is spending your money on things that can make a difference for others. Andrew also tells us how wealth can have its downsides for families and friendships.

Young people these days talk about wanting balance in their lives.
Well according to Scott Galloway, that means you don’t want to be rich.
Building wealth is no easy feat. It requires determination, hard work and sacrifice. But luck plays a huge role too.
Scott shares stories with us that he’s rarely talked about publicly. He dives into the strategies that helped him build his fortune. He’s also got loads of lessons learned from his biggest failures. He went from being worth around 30 million to a negative net worth during the dot com crash. He clawed his way back over the next few years to over 10 million or so, only to lose it all again. He tells us what those failures and successes were like for his mental health, and what it taught him about keeping his ego in check.
Scott thinks it’s important to talk about money even when it makes you feel like a douchebag. Not talking about money keeps the poor down. He shares his key tips and advice for diversification and why it’s so important in building wealth.

Why would you give up $500k/month personal cash flow?
Despite his company's rapid profit growth, Marshall Haas chose to forgo his substantial income for mental space and a $26M exit.
Before considering selling his main company, Marshall had already begun offloading smaller businesses.
In this episode, recorded just weeks after his major exit, Marshall provides a fresh perspective on the exit process, the differences in selling larger versus smaller companies, and his reasons for selling despite exponential growth. We also delve into the mental shift from enjoying a steady monthly cash flow to receiving a massive lump sum.

Remember when Andrew Carnegie wrote that he was removing the pursuit of money from his life?
Probably not, because he didn’t follow through on it. This was even before he founded the Carnegie Steel Corporation and became one of the richest people in the world.
Today’s guest, however, also decided to cut himself off from earning more. And he followed through.
By the time Jeff was in his forties, he was worth over $120 million. After a three-part exit from his company, Jeff decided that pursuing more money was getting in the way of his pursuit of happiness. So he quit building companies, he quit working, and he founded a support group of others in similar life stages.
For Jeff, chasing money had become like an addiction, so he treated it that way. He made big changes in his life to focus on what truly made him happy. But, this “cut-off” from earning more does not coincide with spending less. In fact… it’s quite the opposite.
In this episode of Moneywise, we'll learn about how Jeff realized he had enough, how his pursuit of more was getting in the way of enjoying what he built, and why he thinks it's his duty to spend his money. And of course, we'll also get into all the details about how much he has, where all that money is, and how he spends it.

This is not a normal episode, this is better.
We’ve heard how much Moneywise listeners love the transparency we get from our guests, so we’ve gone a step further. We sent out a survey to all Hampton members and got hundreds of responses detailing things like how much money they have, how they spend it, what their family situation is, if they have debt and how much, etc. etc. etc.
And we’re giving all of this information away for free at joinhampton.com/wealth.
Sam explains more.
Last year, Mike Beckham donated 1 million dollars.
This year, he's setting his sights even higher.
He wants to give away 50% of his annual income. And that's not all—his company, Simple Modern, with a valuation of around 350 million dollars, also allocates 10% of its profits each year to charitable causes.
Mike's journey to philanthropy has been shaped by a deep-rooted commitment to making a difference. Despite starting his career in the nonprofit sector, he discovered his knack for business growth and decided to leverage his skills to amplify his impact. So he left the nonprofit world and built Simple Modern.
For Mike, donating his money is about more than just creating a positive impact in the world (although that is a big part). Mike has found that donating his money helps him refrain from spending that doesn’t bring happiness to his life, and allows him to have more success in the most important part of his life: his relationships with others.
In this episode of Moneywise, Mike will explain all of the benefits of donating. He’ll make the personal and financial cases, including how it’s helped his business succeed. He’ll also give tips on donating effectively, especially if you’re just starting. And as usual, Mike will explain how he made all his money, how he spends it, and give us all the dollar details.

Being born rich sounds like a dream, but it’s almost like being born at the finish line, with no race left to run.
If we’ve learned anything in this podcast so far, it’s that money alone doesn’t bring happiness. Life needs purpose. But when you already have access to everything you could possibly need, finding that purpose can be difficult.
So, how do we ensure our children inherit not just wealth, but also the drive to make something meaningful out of their lives? How do we shield them from the pitfalls of affluence, like aimlessness and substance abuse?
Taylor Adamshas dedicated his life to helping parents successfully pass on their wealth to the next generation with his company Belief Partners. He believes that a large part of happiness comes from the act of adding value to the world around you, feeling like you matter. He works to empower parents to instill in their children the importance of adding value to the world, of feeling like they matter beyond their bank accounts
Taylor knows the feeling of being aimless all too well. Born into a multi-generational billionaire family, he himself has experienced the luxury, pressure, and burden of wealth.
In this episode, Taylor bares all, offering his personal narrative alongside professional research and strategies for navigating the complexities of inherited wealth. From finding purpose to avoiding the traps of excess, Taylor equips affluent parents with the tools they need to raise grounded, fulfilled individuals.
Alongside Taylor, we’ll also hear from Jane. In contrast to Taylor’s strong recommendation to set up a trust for your kids, Jane’s parents paid for necessities through her life, but will pass on their wealth through a lump sum inheritance of roughly $20 million.

If you’re already living the lifestyle you want, what is the point of liquid assets?
Is there too much risk in tying up the vast majority of your assets?
And more importantly, if you already have far more money than you’ll ever need, what is the purpose in continuing to invest for the future when you could be enjoying that money in the present?
“Dave” is worth about $150 million, yet he lives on a $600,000 salary that doesn’t even cover his monthly spend. Instead of using his existing wealth, he’s keeping most of it tied up in private businesses, angel investments, crypto, real estate, and a very small public portfolio. But why?
“Dave” is in the early stages of an experiment where he massively over invests in himself, just to see what he can do. That also includes hiring a personal team so he doesn’t have to lift a finger with home chores.
In this episode, “Dave” will walk us through why he’s living this way, how it impacts how he can spend his money, and we’ll get a detailed breakdown of exactly where all of his money is and how much he has access to. He’ll also tell us about his experiment: why he’s running it, what it actually looks like, and how it’s working out.

If you have the money to put anything you could possibly want in your home, should you do it?
This episode’s guest, “Hank” did, and as a result, his home ended up being 24,000 square feet.
But with 24,000 square feet, there is a lot to go wrong. So are the upkeep, repairs, and bills worth the square footage? Can a home with all the fancy features you can imagine actually bring more joy to your life?
Building (or buying) a house this size is no small feat, and there are numerous things to consider before pulling the trigger, such as your stage in life, your family situation, and how much you enjoy your free time.
In this episode we explore the mega house. We’ll learn about who this type of home is for, the pros, the cons, and all the caveats to be aware of. And this is Moneywise, so we’ll get into all the nitty gritty numbers to learn how “Hank” can afford a home this massive and all of the expenses associated with it. He’ll also share if he ever plans on moving.
We even speak with Ryan Thewes, an architect who designs private residences in the Nashville area. He shares the most commonly requested features, the type of clients he typically gets, and the coolest things he’s ever designed. And we have him answer the question: Would you ever move into one of these mega mansions yourself?
By the end of the episode, if you are convinced that a mega mansion is right for you, we’ll leave you with some advice on how you should go about making your dream home a reality.

The point of money is to make life easier. To give you security, comfort, and the ability to do the things that make you happy.
So if you’ve made enough to take care of that for life, you can just stop making more… right?
Retiring early is a dream for many, but what happens when you actually do it?
In this episode we explore the story of two guests who did just that, though they came about it in different ways.
Our first guest, “Ryan”, made over $20 million after selling his business, then decided to step away from working and enjoy his money. “Jeff” however, made his money in a series of smaller sales and soon realized he had accumulated enough where his investments outperformed his work income.
Since retiring, both “Ryan” and “Jeff” have gone through similar stages of appreciation, loss, and rediscovering purpose in their lives.
In this episode, we explore the ups and downs of retiring early, how much money they have that allows them to live off their investments and what they do with it. They’ll tell us about the external pressure to start something new, how they dealt with the feelings of loss, and what they do with their time now.

Imagine being worth $150 million. Liquid.
Now imagine being worth that much, and only spending $5,000 a month.
That’s the reality for this episode’s guest.
“Cam” is going to share a lot of financial details with us, so he’s asked to remain anonymous. What we can tell you, is that he made most of his money when a business he started went public at a valuation of around a billion dollars. That happened in his late 30s.
In his early 30s, Cam was still only worth a couple grand. There’re a lot of crazy stories in between that we’ll hear about in this episode. Including how his first million was almost accidental.
We’ll also explore why Cam’s monthly spend is so low, how his value of privacy and the impact money has on relationships plays into that, and where that $5k goes every month.
On top of that, we’ll get into the nitty gritty about how he’s saving and investing the rest of his money, as well as the kind of spending that brings Cam genuine joy.

There was a time when Neil Patel said a $15k/month burn rate was all he needed. But now his monthly burn is $200k. Roughly. He’s not completely certain… because he doesn’t budget. So what changed in his life to make his burn rate increase nearly 14 fold? That’s what this episode is going to find out.
Neil Patel is a household name (for marketers). He’s an entrepreneur and blogger known for his expertise in digital marketing and SEO. He co-founded companies like Crazy Egg, Hello Bar, and KISSmetrics, but his biggest company is his namesake, Neil Patel Digital.
In this episode, Neil not only explains how and why his spending has evolved to the point where he’s burning $2.4 million a year, he’ll also break down where that money is going, how it compares to his income, investments, and savings, and why he doesn’t feel the need to set a budget.
He’ll also get candid about how he uses his money to bring joy to his life, and he’ll share how soon he plans on being a billionaire.

How much money do you need to be happy?
Money alone is not going to make you a happy person, but it can sure as hell help you get there. Money can buy you security, time, health, and safety for you and your loved ones, and it can relieve stress when it comes to life's financial pressures.
To say that money can't impact your happiness is naive. But what we want to know is, when is enough, enough?
If you don't know that number, you can easily slip into the hole of always needing and wanting more, which inevitably takes away from your happiness. At a certain point, you start wasting your time and adding stress to your life in the never-ending pursuit of more.
So what is the threshold when it's time to end the chase and simply enjoy the life you've built for yourself?
In this episode, Ankur Nagpal shared his number. Ankur Nagpal is in his early thirties with a net worth north of nine figures. He started raking in money in college with his Facebook App business, but his real life-changing moment was when he sold his company Teachable for a quarter billion dollars. Now, he's the founder of fintech company Carry, formerly known as Ocho.
Ankur will tell us about the financial decisions he made that contributed to his happiness, the mistakes he made, and he's radically transparent about the numbers while he does so.
Sam will also share his own "happiness threshold" number, and we'll also get input from another guy who rakes in over $10 million a year.
