  • Ready to Dive into Financial Independence? A Hang 10 with Doug Nordman!This episode of The NoteClosure Show is totally rad, dudes and dudettes! We're hanging ten with Doug Nordman, a retired Navy submariner who's not only achieved financial independence but also manages to squeeze in daily surf sessions. Seriously, this guy's life is the ultimate blend of discipline, smart investing, and catching some serious waves. Forget the boring old retirement – Doug's showing us how to live the dream!This isn't your grandpappy's finance podcast. We're deep-diving into practical strategies, sharing actionable tips, and even dropping some military slang (because, why not?). Get ready to become a financial SEAL team and master the art of wealth building!Here's the lowdown on what we covered:From Submarines to Surfing (and Financial Freedom): Doug shares his incredible journey from active duty in the U.S. Navy Submarine Force to achieving financial independence at age 41. He's proof that even with the often-chaotic life of a military member, financial freedom is totally attainable! (Hint: High savings rate and not spending a lot of money at sea was key!)The Power of Planning (and a Healthy Transition Fund): Doug stresses the importance of a strategic exit plan from active duty, similar to a well-executed military operation, including a hefty transition fund. This isn't about waiting until retirement to start thinking about it; it's about having a solid plan from day one! This will keep your finances from ending up sleeping under a highway overpass! Sweat Equity and Smart Investing: Doug and his wife built wealth not just through high savings but also through smart home improvements and investing during periods of market downturn. They utilized the strategy of finding a property in need of some TLC, putting in sweat equity, and patiently waiting for the market to appreciate their value. Think of it as a home improvement project and a long-term investment, all rolled into one!The "Millionaire Next Door" Approach: Doug discusses the importance of mindful spending and living a life aligned with your values. He emphasizes building wealth without following the Joneses, a concept explored in the book, Millionaire Next Door, which he highly recommends. (Forget the shiny new pickup truck; consider a slightly used, reliable one to save your cash for surfing!)Legacy Planning and Family: Doug's discussion about his legacy planning shows how important it is to consider how your wealth will support family and friends. He shares practical guidance on sharing the wealth with loved ones and building a solid foundation for the next generation!Bonus points: We'll be mentioning some awesome books and resources that Doug has mentioned in the episode.
