Have you heard of the FIRE movement? It’s become increasingly popular in the past few years. Even if you are technically too old to retire early, there is something we can all learn from FIRE seekers.  In this episode, Kevin Sebesta, a real live FIREer joins me to discuss what FIRE is, how he achieved it, and what people who retire early do with their time.  Make sure to stick around for the Bring It On segment with Dr. Bobby Dubois to learn whether supplements are worth the time and money we spend on them. Dr. Bobby helps us develop a framework for deciding whether supplements are right for us.  OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF THE RETIREMENT ANSWER MAN WHAT I READ IN JANUARY [2:02] Books I read last month PRACTICAL PLANNING SEGMENT [5:55] Meet Kevin [9:56] Defining FIRE [15:24] Who enjoys FIRE  [21:23] Why FIRE has caught on BRING IT ON WITH DR.
