In this episode: FI versus FIRE, coast FI, lean FI, tools for FI, the skill of spending, dying with zero, and prioritizing health.
This week, we are joined by our friend and host of the “All the Hacks” podcast, Chris Hutchins, to discuss the “spectrum” of FI and all that falls in between. From the evolution of FI over the years to the changes we’ve made on our respective journeys, and even differentiating terms such as FI versus FIRE and Coast FI, we cover it all! We also found some time to share tools and resources to benefit you and your FI journey. While the path to FI allows you to take control of your financials and future, this journey can usher in many new perspectives and changes that affect all areas of your life! Allow yourself flexibility and remember that what you are working towards isn’t just a number or early retirement but rather a more fulfilling life!
