Is time freedom (FIRE) your goal? The two hosts retired early (one at 30; one at 40) each walked from a 6-figure job. They discuss THE critical ingredient to achieve financial  freedom, "how to think".  Chris Hanson & Chris Lam each reached freedom by investing & trading in the stock market.  This is NOT Dave Ramsey mutual funds; it's not Kiyosaki real estate; people say it's akin to living the Tim Ferriss lifestyle.

Most people gloss over the 95%, then get frustrated when they can't figure out why they're not achieving freedom.
