Welcome to EverydayFI, the show that explores the lives and stories of everyday people in the financial independence community. In this episode I had the amazing pleasure of chatting with my newfound friend Hayley, an economist and former Peace Corps volunteer. We talk about a LOT in this show, including:
- Hayley’s journey of being a foster parent
- How her parents bought their southern California home in the 70s for $28,000 and it’s now worth over $1M
- Her decision to join the Peace Corps and the parallels between this and how many are called to the FI movement
- Her boring portfolio strategy and how perfect should never be the enemy of good
- My rant on capitalism (lol)
- How as an economist Hayley thinks about the disconnect between the economy being “good” but people feeling strapped for cash
- And her own idea about a finance podcast for teens and young adults
Tune in for this incredibly rich episode.
