In this entertaining conversation (Part 2) with Maggie Tucker of friends on FIRE and Greg we share the good, the bad, the hidden gems, and everything in between that we may or may not have expected to find on this side of early retirement.

The four of us discuss what life looks like when we've decided to live a script different from the traditional American dream, where creating time in your life that isn't centered around a job or career is something to be considered, explored, and maybe even tried.

We dig into the following F.I.R.E. (financial independence retire early) concepts:

• Why we wanted to take this unordinary path to finances
• How we're paying the bills
• What is deferred compensation
• What's been the hardest part since leaving our W2 jobs and how we've adjusted to those difficulties
• Some exciting things we've done since FIREing
• emotional and routine adjustments
• What we would change (if anything) about the process of getting to FI
• What's the deal with the word: ennui

Stay tuned all the way to the end to hear us answer these listener questions::

• "Do you still have work dreams?"
• "What was the biggest adjustment in leaving W2 employment and FIREing?"
