Brandon Ganch, aka The Mad Fientist, joins us to share how he’s trying to break some of the frugal habits that allowed him to retire at the age of 34.

He is one of the earliest analytical voices in the FI movement, known for treating FI as a systems problem.

He leverages his background in computer science, strong preference for systems thinking, experimentation, and automating FI decisions to bring unique perspectives and ways of thinking to the FI space.

Brandon retired extremely early, then realized he needed to redesign his post-FI life, not just his finances.

Most people in the world can’t imagine training themselves to spend more money, but in this space, we totally get it.

Brandon walks us through all the experiments he’s done around spending money to retrain how he thinks about spending decisions.

He covers specific examples of how he is reframing things as well as the increased happiness he’s experiencing thanks to these purchases.

Topics covered include:

And so much more.
