I'm your host, David Robinson, and I'm here to explore the lives of everyday people pursuing financial independence so you can use their stories to forge your own path to financial freedom, the everyday way. In today's episode I get to chat with my friend Jennifer Walsh, a fourth-generation railroader who stumbled into the FI community while looking for a completely different kind of camp! We talk about raising money-savvy kids, caring for aging parents, and why she's choosing to spend more on making memories with her family now instead of saving every last dollar for retirement.

I'm your host, David Robinson, and in this episode I interview Amy Minkley who is living her best life in Bali, Indonesia.  We discuss how her career as an international school teacher allowed her to achieve FI, the impact discovering the FI community had on her life and why this motivated her to create the first non-US FIRE gathering in Bali.  We also talk about her efforts to raise money for the PKP Centre, an organization helping women and children escape poverty and domestic violence.

We talk about sabbaticals, immigrant money lessons, Coast FI, life design, and why the goal is not just to reach FI someday, but to make life feel more like your own right now.

In today's episode I get to chat with Casey about being in the messy middle of FI, from paying off $40,000 of debt to realizing the goal isn't just to quit work someday, it's to build a life that feels more aligned now. We talk about career questions, health costs, money shifts, and what happens when the boring middle starts getting a little too real.

But he's back today and I get to teach him all about taxes and what they actually pay for. He only got a small glimpse into what this topic was about so his reactions are basically real time, and you might be surprised by some of them!
