I have some big news…
I am now a British citizen!
In honor of finally getting my UK passport, and therefore completing this long journey to citizenship, I am releasing my UK FIRE episode.
Barney, from The Escape Artist, joined me in my Edinburgh apartment (before the pandemic) to discuss all things related to financial independence and early retirement in the UK.
Hope you enjoy it!

- Class structure in UK and how pursuing FI forces you to traverse all classes
- Why FIRE isn’t bigger in the UK
- Difference between the different types of ISAs
