In this episode of the Fit Rich Life Podcast, Bryce Leung from Millennial Revolution (and co-author of "Quit Like a Millionaire") returns to break down what 10 years of early retirement actually looks like.

Since hitting $1M at their 2015 FIRE date, Bryce and Kristy have grown their net worth to roughly $2.8M — while earning over $500K post-retirement from their creative endeavors.

We dive into their current portfolio strategy, why Bryce swapped bonds for preferred shares, his take on global diversification, and the role gold plays in their allocation.

We also talk about simplicity vs. optimization, health habits that compound, and what true financial independence looks like a decade in.
