We are kicking off 2020 with some heavy hitters, including an Emmy-nominated producer who recently overhauled his family’s financial future with one tiny but major concept that could also change your life: FIRE (Financial Independence/Retire Early). If you are wondering how you can retire early and what it may take, if you’re sick of the grind and cannot imagine doing your job for another 30 years, this show could be the one that gets you moving towards FIRE. And for anyone who hasn’t read the book that Scott Rieckens, our guest today wrote, Playing with FIRE, it’s a great place to start.
