“Hi Gwen and J,
I started listening to the podcast passively about 6 months ago and I had the more traditional view of FIRE in mind (high earner, high savings rate, very frugal, index fund investing - you know what I’m talking about). Well, the Universe thought that was funny so I fell in love with someone in Central America and fell so deeply in love that I quit my job and packed everything up to move with about 6 months of income saved and no idea what was going to happen. Fast forward a few months when I realized the relationship wouldn’t work, and moved back home to pick up the pieces. What I knew was that I didn’t want to go back to traditional employment, but I had no idea how to make it happen. I am now actively listening to you podcast and deeply researching the topics and guests to see if there’s a viable match for my next steps. Thank you so much for the diversity of guests you have brought on - they have given me so many ideas and I really believe that my version of FIRE (non traditional and entrepreneurial) is possible. You guys are da bomb!”
