MD from Military Dollar could literally stop contributing to her retirement accounts today. She's cruisin. (insert 60's beach theme music here).

Show notes and takeaways can be found here: https://firedrillpodcast.com/fire037

She is an incredible dollar, and especially gifted at spread all the huge personal finance perks to serving in the armed forces (of which there are tons by the way). We were absolutely thrilled to speak with her for this episode :)

We chat about:

money tips for service members (and non-military folks as well)

The rule of 72

What is your "cruising" number/rate?

The crazy good FI perks from a career in the military

There are probably way too many service members not taking advantage of some of the plans MD drops in this episode. Let's change that! If you or someone you know is serving, tell em. It could literally change their life.

This talk was seriously fun. Enjoy it, and feel free to drop us a comment if you'd like :)

Today's episode is a very special one; an extended fireside chat with the legendary personal finance author and blogger Erin Lowry, from Broke Millennial.

Show notes and takeaways can be found here: https://firedrillpodcast.com/fire036

There are VERY few people making huge, mega, ginormous dents in the personal finance space right now, but Erin might be the sole exception. The veteran blogger released her first book this year, and has been making a phenomenal name for herself as a legit personal finance expert and influencer (and not the "I just play one on TV" experts, but someone who people routinely trust and look to for guidance).

Oh, and she's also just incredibly fun to hang out with.

In this bonus Christmas episode, we chat about...

The uphill battle of rebranding retirement

Problems/issues with the FIRE community (this is legit)

Why we should stop using the word "poor" so much in PF

Ancestry tests

How Erin will reach millionaire status by age 35

Alcohol.

A lot more...

Erin is a brilliant writer, and completely unafraid to step into personal finance discussions and hit us with wise (and sometimes hard) truths.

Enjoy this episode, and we hope you have a lovely holiday! Come share your Christmas-related FIRE spending stories in the private Facebook group :) :)

Tanja from Our Next Life and Kara from Bravely are the real deal. They're not only living the FIRE and entrepreneurship dreams, they are doing everything in their power to encourage others along the same paths.

Full shownotes and takeaways here: https://firedrillpodcast.com/fire035

On one hand, they have very different stories to offer...

Tanja - Retiring early this month (congratssss!)

Kara - never worked in a full-time salaried job in her life. Now a startup founder.

On the other hand, they BOTH have incredibly huge hearts they are utilizing to teach and help others with a financial education.

Kara has an amazing debt story, and her company Bravely is dedicated to helping women learn about and take control of their money through online resources, as well as in-person events.

Tanja is a widely-respected FI/FIRE blogger at ONL, and has one of the most dedicated online communities in the space. Her and her husband are officially retiring this year to travel, ski, and do charitable work full-time :)

Furthermore, they are the cohosts of an AMAZING new podcast, The Fairer Cents, where they ask the difficult questions and provide an additional community for women (and men) to show up and talk about money. Real talk.

AMAZING things happen on this podcast, such as:

Kara literally changes one person's life (at least we heard that such a thing happened via text).

practical tips for dealing with impatience for FI (Ugh it's real)

Kara and Tanja's backstories (super inspiring)

Enjoy the show, and be sure to connect with all of us in the Facebook Group :)
