Published: Aug. 12, 2015, 7 a.m.

b'Welcome back to So Money. I\'m your host Farnoosh Torabi. Thanks for joining me. Doing\\xa0something special this week. If you\'ve been listening since Monday, you know it is millionaire\'s\\xa0next door week. Dedicating the week to people across the country, in some cases across the\\xa0globe, who are millionaires and you wouldn\'t really know it. They\'re frugal, they save their\\xa0money wisely, they don\'t buy material things necessarily, they have sacred financial\\xa0philosophies and we\'re gonna learn all about it this week. So inspired to introduce today\'s\\xa0couple, we have a couple on So Money today. Jeremy Jacobson and Winnie Tseng. They run\\xa0the personal finance blog\\xa0Gocurrycracker.com. They are two normal people from lower income\\xa0families, chasing the American dream, until they realized, you know what? The chase wasn\'t\\xa0making them so happy.\\xa0They sold their house, they sold their car, and started saving 70%, or more than 70% of their\\xa0combined income. And in a short 10 years, while still in their 30\'s, they became financially\\xa0independent and said "buh-bye" to the working world to then start a family and travel the world.\\xa0Three years now into a hopefully 60 plus year journey, they\'re living their own nomadic dream\\xa0with their newborn son, Julian. The two have now multiple millions of dollars, they keep that\\xa0money pretty much invested in index funds, they tell me. And they\'re living off about $4,000 a\\xa0month and they are soon about to embark on their world wide journey. First stop, Mexico!\\xa0Lots to learn from this couple, our millionaires next door.
