In this episode, I chat with Money Coach Rachel Covert who worked in corporate fashion for 15 years before achieving financial independence and retiring early. Now she helps others set up automated systems to save and invest their way to financial security and early retirement.

We discuss the concept of slow FI, which is a gradual and sustainable approach to achieving financial independence. Rachel shares her experiences and tips on how to find joy along the way to (early) retirement and how to make the journey less stressful.

We also delve into the topic of partial retirement, or gradually reducing your work hours or income in order to have more time for other pursuits. Rachel gives us a peek into her experience with partial retirement and how it helped her to design her life and stay motivated.

Rachel emphasizes the importance of asking for raises and more money to achieve financial independence and early retirement. Our guest shares her tips and strategies on how to ask for what you deserve and negotiate for a higher salary.

Whether you're just starting on your journey to financial independence and early retirement or you're well on your way, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical tips to help you achieve your financial goals.
