“You need to ask more specific questions of your guests, like what their financial position was when they went FI and the rationale behind it. What holdings do they have? All index funds? How did they specifically get to FI? What was their top salad or earnings in a year? What was their savings...”Read full review »

“So glad I stumbled upon this podcast. Julie covers all my favorite topics - passive income, real estate investing, early retirement. I especially loved Ali and Alison walker’s episode about retiring early and traveling the world. Great guests, amazing value... highly recommend!”

“Loved this podcast when it was Gwen and Julie, Gwen’s experience prematurely FIRE-ing grounded Julie’s optimism. Since Gwen left it feels like the podcast is all about sponsorships and affiliate links - less genuine and less concerned with the listeners’ journeys than Julie’s. Signed up for the...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening for 5 or 6 months now and was a huge fan. I just heard the Pinterest VA episode and went to that woman’s website. Her supposed testimonials for the course don’t check out at all if you visit their listed websites. One woman’s link doesn’t work at all and the other hasn’t...”Read full review »

It was incredibly motivating to hear from a couple who are pursuing several different avenues and cementing a place in their new (FI) community.

“Now that Gwen has left, all you get in the podcast is spam, especially if you subscribe to their newsletter.

Julie’s whole brand now revolves around “how much money can I make off...”Read full review »
