As we begin a new year, I think it's fitting to start with a discussion of financial independence!
My desire for all of you is that you may experience financial independence as you define it and that you may establish a workable plan this year toward its achievement.
Tim Stobbs is right in the middle of his financial independence plan. After stumbling across the idea of early retirement/financial independence, he was awakened to the possibility that an ordinary person could achieve it.
He set out a plan and started following it. He's now ahead of schedule!
Along the way, he wrote a book to teach others how to accomplish the same goal.
Topics include:
- Tim's personal plan
- Details on how to use Canadian retirement accounts to maximum effect
- Flexible work schedules and alternative working arrangements
- How financial independence (even partial) can lead to the easier achievement of other goals
- How having savings impacts the ability to get better jobs
Enjoy the interview!
