Do you see yourself dying on top of a pile of gold like Scrooge McDuck? Today’s guest, Chris Hutchins, shares his story of how he balances hacking his life: credit cards, chores, out of the box thinking, you name it, with keeping his end goals in mind.

Key Takeaways:
Why creating success is more about buy-in than perfection
Taking life a beat slower
The difference between being cheap and out of the box hacking
Hacking your biggest expenses like travel and a home purchase
Finding the best credit card(s) for your needs
A two credit card arrangement for the average 6-figure household

Time vs talent vs treasure
Parenting hacks: childcare, toys, pre-school
