Should I Quit My Corporate Job & Mailbag | MHFI 215


Listen Later

Doug and Carl work through a case study from listener Frank and also answer questions from the Facebook mailbag.

  • Frank – Has a stressful, yet well paying job.  Should he stay at his current job, which he doesn’t like so much, or move on to something else that he’s been contemplating for a while?
  • Rich
    • What does a typical daily meal and snack look like?  If you had to change it up, what would you do to make it more ideal?
    • What are a couple of key takeaways that you have learned by chatting with other FIRE folks that you are trying to instill in your life?
    • If you had a second home, what city or state would it be in and why?
    • Paddy – Carl has built an Allan Block retaining wall; would he do this again or hire out?  If so, any tips?
    • John – Who wins in a footrace – Doug or Carl?
    • Save 50% site-wide on your new mattress, pillow, and bedding over at GhostBed (coupon code: MILEHIGHFI)
