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)

Imagine you received $100,000 in college to run your own charity. What would you do with it?

Today's guest, Rylan from The Hidden Green, is an inspiration. This is a guy who managed to save $97,000 over just a few years at a young age, started a successful non-profit in college that spread to multiple cities in California, and has generally just optimized his life for financial and emotional well-being.

Oh, and he also surfs, travels extensively, and blogs about financial independence, which means we liked him before we even spoke with him.

For full show notes and takeaways, head here: https://firedrillpodcast.com/fire034

In this episode, we chat about...

starting businesses in college (pros and cons, really)

how Rylan house-hacked while renting,

how Rylan has been so prolific and saving money, even at a young age

Extensive travel, and finding the benefits of travel in your hometown

and more.

Rylan's story is incredible, as is this chat. Enjoy, and let us know what you think in the Facebook group!

Let's talk family, careers, and saving aggressively (but not too aggressively) for FI.

We met up with Mrs. Adventure Rich (from Adventure Rich of course) at FinCon, and incredibly impressed with everything she's currently doing! She is a blogger, mother, wife, and overall insightful person.

Straight up, here's what we want you to take away from this episode: Flexibility. For FI, for your role in your marriage, for your spouse's role, for your career.

You'll definitely see a trend here. We also dig into...

NOT rushing to FIRE...

the supreme important of communication in relationships (and how it might help the journey to FI!)

Which lifestyle should you choose: the bad$&# business woman boss? Or the chill stay-at-home wife/mom? (hint: It's a trick question)

(fellas, listen up for some awesome pointers to score bonus points with your significant other) :)

We had a blast diving into Mrs. Adventure Rich's story, and it will definitely inspire you too! Enjoy.

Today's episode melts our heart. Emotionally and financially.

Justin from Saving Sherpa comes from humble beginnings in Mississippi, and has an incredible story to share with us. 

Today he is a member of the Air Force saving up to 70% of his take-home pay (um impressive much?), and also has an active charitable mission sponsoring children through Ciudad de Angeles. So when we "changing lives" is part of his mission, we don't just mean through his blog (though that certainly applies as well!)

We chat about:

The striking similarities between getting physically and financially fit

How military folks can price-shop cities and why that matters for reaching FI (or at least saving money)

FOOD. How to eat well on a budget. Like seriously.

Justin's story is awesome. Enjoy the show, and drop us a line in the Facebook group with your comments!
