From FIFO to Financial Freedom: Lindsey’s Journey to $1.8 Million Net Worth
In today’s episode of SugarMamma’s Fireplay, I sit down with Lindsey — a wife, mother, and inspiring example of what’s possible when you combine courage, discipline, and vision.
Back in 2008, Lindsey and her husband were both earning $55,000 a year. They dreamed of building a life together but didn’t want to be tied to a huge mortgage forever. So they took a leap of faith — leaving their stable jobs to work in the mines. What happened next changed everything.
Over the years, Lindsey and her husband:
-
Paid off two blocks of land while working FIFO.
-
Saved $300,000 in cash to build their dream home.
-
Subdivided their land, making smart property sales at the right time.
-
Built their family home — now worth around $1.8 million — and became completely mortgage-free.
-
Grew their superannuation balances to $250,000 each.
-
Built an emergency fund, regular holiday savings, and a share portfolio they’re aiming to grow to $1 million in 20 years.
And the best part? They did all this while raising two children, travelling, and enjoying their lives along the way.
Lindsey opens up about the lessons, setbacks, and mindset shifts she’s experienced, and she shares advice for anyone who wants to create financial freedom on their own terms. This isn’t just a story about money — it’s about courage, clarity, and choosing a life that aligns with your values.
If you’re looking for motivation and practical inspiration, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
