Unlocking Freedom Through Wealth: How Betsy Pepine Built a Real Estate Empire Rooted in Debt-Free Living
What if the secret to wealth wasn’t just making more—but making smart, intentional choices with what you already have?
In this powerful episode of Richer Soul, Betsy Pepine shares the remarkable story of how she went from a frugal childhood in New Jersey to becoming a best-selling author, serial entrepreneur, and leader of one of the top real estate brokerages in the U.S. Her philosophy? Live below your means, stay out of debt, and use money as a tool for freedom—not flash.
Keep reading to discover how Betsy’s old-school money values led to next-level success.
Key Takeaways:
- Freedom Is the Ultimate Currency. Betsy doesn’t chase money for status—it’s all about freedom of choice. Whether it's the freedom to give generously, pivot professionally, or sleep soundly at night, financial independence gives her control over her destiny.
- Debt-Free Living Is a Superpower. Raised by parents who shunned debt (aside from a mortgage), Betsy never bought anything she couldn’t pay for in cash. This mindset helped her grow her wealth without compromising her peace of mind—even when financial experts told her to leverage more.
- Entrepreneurship Isn't About Money—It's About Impact. From her first childhood hustle to building Pepine Realty, Betsy always had an entrepreneurial drive. But her motivation wasn't the money—it was about creating options and helping others, especially families in housing crisis through her nonprofit, Pepine Gives.
- Lead with Intention, Not Ego. Despite her high-profile endorsements from Barbara Corcoran, Dave Ramsey, and Glenn Beck, Betsy remains grounded. Her approach to leadership, family, and business is rooted in humility, service, and vision.
Money Learnings:
Betsy learned about money by observing her parents, who lived frugally and prioritized saving over spending. They avoided debt at all costs—except for a mortgage, which they paid off quickly. Though she thought they were poor, it was a deliberate choice to live below their means and fund their children’s education debt-free. This instilled in her a deep respect for financial discipline, a preference for peace of mind over leverage, and the belief that money is best used as a tool for freedom.

Beyond her brokerage, Betsy runs a real estate school, a title company, and a property management firm. She’s a Wharton MBA, a Duke economics grad, and founder of Pepine Gives, a nonprofit helping at-risk families with housing.
