Pocket Money

Fortnite, Pokemon Go, Candy Crush… The mobile gaming industry was forecast to make $63.2 billion in 2018, almost half of all gaming revenue. On this episode of Pocket Money, we dive deep into how behavioural economics influences game design for children and adults, and why the psychology of spending money when it comes to our phones is so complicated.

Today, we are joined by Chris Stead, Finder's resident gaming expert, and the former editor of Game Informer, GamePro, Gameplayer and over 10 other publications.

In this episode, the Pocket Money crew explore about the FIRE Movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early). Sally & Marc welcome Matt, aka the Aussie Firebug, a 29-year old blogger, podcaster and Australian on FIRE.

We discuss what FIRE is, how early retirement can be achieved, the mindset and discipline that brings this growing internet-based community together, and what everyday people can do in order to optimise their lives toward financial independence.
