FIRE: Financial Independence, Retire Early With Eric Richard | TNN13
Retirement has a synonym: financial independence. Both terms are used to define a financial status that, once reached, means you’re no longer dependent on outside sources of income. Eric Richard worked his way into a lucrative corporate job in supply chain management, but with that came long hours and a terrible commute. After realizing that frugality can go a long way, he saved $500k and traveled around the world.
In this fun and wisdom-filled episode of The New Nomad, Eric joins Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in educating and inspiring our audience to achieve FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early). Most people dream of retiring early and our 3 nomads share their experiences, ideas, and tips on how to do just that. From being frugal and investing smartly, it’s an episode full of gold nuggets that will surely be handy one of these days.
