Scott Henderson, Accredited Financial Counselor, educator, blogger and money mentor joins Bob to chat about his life journey in attaining #FinancialIndependence through financial literacy and simplifying finances and money.

At an early age of 8, Scott's childhood was turned upside down. From the outside looking in, Scott's family had it all, a luxurious home and a lavish life. But it was a superficial lifestyle built on debt. His now single mom with four kids in tow started picking up the pieces in what seemed like insurmountable odds. Her determination to overcome was successful, as well as inspirational. Scott was motivated to achieve success as a way of honoring his mom and changing his narrative.

Scott is the founder of Simplifinances. A financial resource that teaches valuable and straightforward money management tools for people who don't know what steps to take. Check out @simplifinances.

In this episode, Bob chats to financial mentor, blogger, podcast host, and author, Chris Mamula. Chris, set to follow the traditional path of work, save, retire and play, realized waiting to retire at 65 was not appealing. Chris questioned his assumptions of life and educated himself on investing, saving and tax planning, and with a little motivation and persistence, he found financial independence at 41.

Now, he draws on his experience and writes about wealth building, DIY investing, financial planning, early retirement, and lifestyle design at Can I Retire Yet. He is also the primary author of the book, Choose FI: Your Blueprint to Financial Independence and co-host of the podcast Choose FI.

Bob and Chris discuss the concept of F. I. R. E. (Financial Independence-Retire Early) and the three basic choices with money; spend less, earn more and invest better. Chris explains how he and his wife made intentional choices to learn the technical aspects of finance and money, to proactively change their future. Can you retire early? Yes – if you're willing to do the work! @caniretireyet, @choosefi
