Found yr show when driving to Vegas and it has been pretty life changing. I learned of strategies like the roth IRA conversion ladder that have opened me up to maxing out my 401K. My wife and I are now 1.5 years from FIRE and traveling the world. We have also found FIRE friends so the movement is spreading. Love your show! Look forward to learning more. Loved the veteran episode. As a fellow veteran, I have deployed many of the same strategies.

Before finding out about FIRE, I was obsessed with saving money and not spending much. Meanwhile my dad’s favorite phrase was “don’t mind about the money”. They didn’t even take a look at the prices when going groceries shopping or eating out in a restaurant. I felt like the black sheep of the family, and I was saving a lot! I just didn’t know what was I saving for (and had NEVER thought about retirement). When my boyfriend started talking about what he had learnt in blogs and podcast about FIRE, first I knew I was in love with him because he was a saver just like me (hahaha) and second, I discovered a new vision about money and what was I going to use it for. I started with episode 100 and now I’ve listened to some really old ones, I’m not going to stop until I listen to them all. I’m really thankful for everything you guys had thought me!
