We spend so much of our lives chasing money—believing that once we earn enough, save enough, and invest enough, happiness and freedom will finally follow.But what if the real goal isn’t more money… it’s more time?Today’s guest is <a href="https://marriagekidsandmoney.com/author/andy-hill/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Andy Hill, AFC®</a>, award-winning family finance coach and founder of the platform Marriage, Kids and Money, which has reached millions of families through his podcast, videos, and writing. His new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Own-Your-Time-Financial-Corporate/dp/1394342772" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Own Your Time</a>, challenges a deeply held belief in personal finance: that wealth alone will solve our problems. Instead, Andy argues that true financial success is about using money intentionally to design a life filled with freedom, family connection, and choice.In this conversation, we explore Andy’s own journey—from a six-figure household income and negative net worth to a life where he and his wife now work part-time by design. We talk about the concept of “coast financial independence,” the surprising middle ground between burnout and early retirement, and the practical financial steps families can take—at any stage—to reclaim their calendars and their priorities.We’ll also get into the emotional side of money and time: how couples navigate unequal incomes, why optionality matters more than status, and how to raise kids who understand wealth not just as dollars, but as freedom and generosity.This episode aired originally on Feb 9, 2026.Learn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop <a href="http://booktobrand.co" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Book to Brand.</a> Early bird registration is now open!
