RE-RUN
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.
This is MoneyWise, a podcast where host Sam Parr is joined by high-net-worth guests to explore exclusive insights into personal finance and lifestyle tailored for other high-net-worth people, or those on their way. They'll get radically transparent about the numbers, revealing things like their burn rates, portfolios, and spending habits.
