In this engaging conversation, Jordan Grumet, a physician and author of 'Taking Stock' and 'The Purpose Code', shares his transformative journey from medicine to financial independence. He reflects on profound lessons learned from hospice patients about money and meaning in life. The discussion highlights the differences between 'Big P' and 'Little P' purposes, offering practical strategies to overcome purpose anxiety. Listeners gain insights into career transitions and intentional living, encouraging a more fulfilling and joy-driven approach to finding personal purpose.

Adrian Brambila, co-author of "Start Thinking Rich," and Dr. Brad Klontz, a clinical psychologist focusing on money's psychology, dive into wealth-building strategies. They challenge the DIY mindset that can impede financial independence, advocating for outsourcing tasks for greater happiness. The duo dispels misconceptions about wealth paths like education and homeownership while redefining true wealth as time freedom, stressing the importance of rich experiences over material possessions.

Doug chats with Kristen Knapp about the principles of Coast FI and Slow FI.  Going beyond mere definitions they explore the benefits of these strategies, including reduced stress & greater life satisfaction, along with insights into working part-time, investing strategies, lifestyle design, unexpected life events, and the significance of intentional spending & saving.  They also answer a couple related questions from the Facebook group. Questions: Melanie – What’s the difference between SlowFI and just saving for retirement like a Regular Joe? David – I do have a question about Coast FI. When someone says they have saved enough to retire at a certain age in the future, does the sequence of returns risk from that moment hit them harder or softer? Retirees can reduce their spending to help themselves in the first few years of retirement if the market turns down. But if you’re drawing no money, I guess I don’t understand if that makes it safer or more risky.

Doug chats with Frances a year after her and her husband’s initial appearance on the show.  She provides updates on her and Peter’s job situations as well as updates on all things financial – current housing situation, savings & investing strategies, spending, and expense tracking.  Frances also shares some personal updates while asking listeners to provide feedback to some questions that she’s working through. Listener Questions: Continue to dollar-cost-average $10k per month from savings into investments or just do a lump sum? With $18k in an emergency fund, is having an additional $40K-$48K in short-term savings practical or too much?  If expenses do come up, is it better to cashflow these items instead of keeping so much in savings? Any suggestions for budgeting apps besides Monarch Money? Looking for a crossover or hatchback with lots of trunk space, 30K-40K miles, ideally $15K-$20K ($30K max), preferably a Honda or Toyota but doesn’t seem to be many options out there.  Okay to buy a new vehicle in this situation or stick with something used?  How much is the right amount to spend on a car?
