Paula Pant is an Nepalese-American podcaster and entrepreneur.[1] She is best known for her top-ranked personal finance podcast Afford Anything, and for her TED-style talks at Google, FinCon, and other conferences.[2][3] She is an expert within the FIRE movement in building wealth through rental real estate investing.[4]

Life

Pant was born in Kathmandu, Nepal, and grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.[1] She began her career as a newspaper reporter and freelance journalist before becoming a personal finance entrepreneur and rental real estate investor.[1] Pant has traveled to more than 30 countries, and owns at least 7 rental properties.[1]

Work

Pant was one of the first high-profile women in the personal finance media community thanks to her blog Afford Anything.[5] She won the 2018 Plutus Award for lifetime achievement and Podcast of the Year.[6] Later, she turned that blog into the top-ranked Afford Anything podcast, which talks about financial independence, often through a rental real estate lens.[7] She is considered a leader of the financial independence, retire early (FIRE) movement. She is a proponent of starting small and focusing on one particular type of rental property rather than trying to master everything, and to keep emotion out of it.[8] She also says the "financial independence" piece of FIRE is more important than the "retire early" piece.[9]

Pant received a lot of press coverage in 2018 after Suze Orman came on her podcast and said she hates the FIRE movement.[8]

Blog

Afford Anything's focus is on "You can afford anything, but not everything."
