Retire by 30: The $5M Blueprint for Building Wealth and Getting Your Time Back | Cody Berman E389

What if retirement was not a finish line at 65, but a number you could hit in your twenties? In this episode, Cory sits down with Cody Berman, entrepreneur, real estate investor, personal finance educator, and author of "Retire by 30: How to Build Wealth, Gain Freedom, and Live Life on Your Own Terms." The conversation goes well beyond tactics. Cody breaks down what financial independence actually means, how he learned to optimize his life around what he loves instead of what society expects, and why getting your time back is the ultimate asset, not the number itself. This one hits differently than a typical money episode. Whether you are a W-2 earner grinding toward your first investment or someone who just wants more control over your days, Cody's framework is a reminder that retirement is not an age, it is a number, and that number is more achievable than most people think.
