  • What if everyone pursued FI, how would that mirror the world we are living in now? Anne-Marie wrote in with this question and the guys discussed what a world of FI would look like if we all spent according to our needs and priorities instead of our wants.
  • What is the future of college in a post COVID world? In discussing a world where everyone cut discretionary spending, college seems like a big expense right now. With many student losing “the college experience” this term, was it worth the high cost to take courses online at home? Couldn’t a Coursera or another MOOC (Massively Open Online Course) fill the same need? The guys discuss this topic.

FI Frugal Hobbies | Chris Terrell | Ep 429

Whether you’re years into your FI journey or just beginning, evaluating your finances and spending, you may feel like you have to make some cuts into your favorite hobbies in order to reach your goal quicker. However, deprivation and cutting out the things that bring enjoyment into your life should never be the only option. This week we are joined by friend of the podcast Chris Terell to talk frugal hobbies, new experiences, and the parallels between strategies in board games and the strategies employed while on the journey to FI. While trying to optimize your experiences may mean changing hobbies and evolving, while doing so you may find new enjoyment, new communities, and values that come with these changes. Not everyone may have the same approach to a game, just as not everyone will have the same approach to achieving FI, but as long as you remember that being open to changes will allow you to not only optimize your experiences on that journey but optimize your FI.

Fees, Frugality, and 401K Fears | Ep 428

On what is considered a very personal journey, how do you handle changes that feel like setbacks? Whether its spending more when you feel you should be saving, or re-evaluating goals based on what needs immediate attention, do you feel equipped to handle it with confidence? This week we are having a weekly roundup, and are re-joined by Ginger to not only answer listener’s questions, but discuss travel rewards, retirement accounts, and breaking away from the ultra frugal caricature often depicted alongside FI. While saving is an important factor on this journey, the main purpose of FI is to learn and live your life with intention as it relates to your money, goals, and values. Remember that it’s okay if some of your goals and values will change along the way! Allowing yourself to be flexible as it relates to external factors, like market volatility and your investments, will give you more power and control to continue ahead with confidence and optimism!
