Episode notes

Todd retired early at age forty-four, just three years after discovering the FIRE movement. The most interesting part? He quit without reaching his FIRE number. That’s right. After realizing he couldn’t go one more day working his job, he quit, even without the perfect amount of money on the sidelines. Did he survive in the FIRE life, or did he eventually have to return to work to rebuild his portfolio? Stick around and find out!

Although Todd made a good income, he spent most of it on his lifestyle. As his family’s sole provider, every expense took away from his income, leaving him with a respectable but by no means large savings rate. One day, as Todd surfed the internet at work, he stumbled upon a financial independence blog post, and the rest was history! He chased FIRE ruthlessly for three years and eventually was able to retire on his terms.

If you’re looking to retire in your forties, quit your job, find financial freedom, or finally grow your savings, tune in for Todd’s advice. Even if you don’t have a high income, you can follow his cost-cutting, “boring” investing advice to achieve financial independence faster than you thought possible!
