We’re diving into your FIRE questions with Shang Saavedra, author of Wealth is a Mindset and a trailblazer in the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement. Shang achieved financial independence at 32 and is here to help you tackle everything from early retirement to overcoming money trauma.


We cover:

  • How to plan for retirement when the timeline feels uncertain.
  • The importance of viewing retirement not as an age, but as a state of mind.
  • Strategies for dealing with money trauma and shifting from a scarcity to an abundance mindset.
  • Advice for parents balancing their own savings with paying for their children’s college education.
  • How to make retirement a reality if you’re working in a toxic environment and want to leave.
