In this episode of the BiggerPockets Money podcast, Mindy and Scott speak with Victor Haghani, a seasoned financial expert whose journey from Wall Street titan to FIRE advocate will transform how you think about wealth building.

Victor's path from Salomon Brothers and Long-Term Capital Management to founding Elm Wealth reveals the shocking truth: the complex strategies that made millions on Wall Street pale in comparison to simple index fund investing for achieving financial independence.

What We Discuss:

  • Why Victor's billion-dollar trading experience led him to index funds

  • The age-based asset allocation strategy that adapts as you approach FI

  • The psychological traps that derail FIRE journeys (even for Wall Street pros)

  • Practical portfolio management for the path to financial independence

And SO much more!
