#144. What Financial Independence in Your 40's Really Looks Like

The Mind Money Spectrum Podcast

Trishul is in his 40's and has achieved FIRE. Aaron is also in his 40's, but is not financially independent. Yet they both lead similar lives. What's the difference?
Trishul achieved FIRE and began writing a blog to help friends and family make better financial decisions. This eventually led to starting a lifestyle practice as a financial advisor. Aaron started a lifestyle business to help people with stock options while having the time to coach his kids' sports teams. Both see the value in making intentional decisions with family lifestyle as the priority. The difference is that Trishul's backup plan is his nest egg, while Aaron's backup plan is his future income potential.
