“I stumbled across friends on FIRE in 2020 and my toddler daughter and I have enjoyed every episode driving around the UK.
Mike and Maggie bring a wealth of ideas and experience of “the path less travelled” with practical tips and clear explanations.
The podcast is light hearted with great banter, and a depth of content. It’s refreshing to hear their motivations for doing this to inspire others rather than a commercially driven business and it shines through.
Our almost 2 year old has a Junior ISA (Tax free investments in the Uk) and we regularly invest in a Vanguard Tracker for her, which has proven a great choice as she is outperforming us! I’m sure planting this seed will help her in years to come.
From our adult perspective we look forward to tracking net worth and blame free expenses monitoring each month and has made a real difference towards a simpler life, already cutting out things like our self storage unit, car (we’ve gone electric) and reevaluating our travel plans for what makes us happy. This has helped us as a couple.
I’ve also discussed finances with friends more openly as a result of this, particularly with the cost of living crisis and our pensions.
There’s also plenty of life hacks, like listening to audiobooks on Libby and watching YouTube in a faster speed setting.
I hope awareness of this podcast continues to grow, with the quality of production, content and humour I feel it’s more a matter of people finding it as to be honest there’s much bigger podcasts in this space that aren’t as engaging for our family.
Thanks Mike and Maggie, we look forward to following your journey from England every Monday!”
