#059 - What's your magic number? If you watch TV at all, you've likely seen a financial planning commercial that asks you what you need to retire. Many people target a certain amount of money by age 65 and start saving and investing. And other people set that plan on fire!
If you're familiar at all with the FIRE movement - Financial Independence, Retire Early - you might have heard of Brad Barrett and his podcast co-host Jonathan Mendonsa, founders of ChooseFI.com. They are on a mission to change your magic number from a dollar amount to an age... and one that's potentially much younger than 65!
Brad joins us for a deep dive into what it means to choose financial independence instead of what's been taught to us by our parents and what's being touted by big financial planning firms. He makes the case of a series of small changes in your lifestyle that yield long-term wealth and - most importantly - fulfillment.
And of course, Brad answers 5 Big Questions... here on Made to Thrive!
