Hello everyone! In this week's episode I cover some 4% rule history and caveats in my Did You Know? segment, and my main segment is all about a book I read recently (Yesteryear) and how its author (Caro Claire Burke) got me thinking about my relationship to risks and in general issues with risk that people who are in the FIRE movement tend to have (in short, we're often too scared even though we have the financial means necessary to take the leap!). Finally, I end by highlighting Yesteryear and Measure Twice Planners, a podcast about advice-only financial planning.
