You Mean I Can Retire Today? Surprise FIRE at 40 with Dragon Gal from The Dragons on FIRE

#28: Want to retire early but hate budgeting? Dragon Gal never
explicitly planned for early retirement or had a budget, but she
realized that she could retire at 40. She retired early in 2017
from full time teaching, a few months after finding out about the
FIRE movement. Dragon Gal and her husband Dragon Guy write about
retiring early and living with cancer on their blog at
thedragonsonFIRE.com. In this interview, she shares the money
habits that helped her retire early, how she transitioned out of
her teaching job, and what early retirement looks like for
her. 


In this episode, we discuss:


Money habits to make early retirement automatic

Ways to quickly cut your expenses

Things to do before giving notice at your job

How everyday life changes in retirement

Why you should let your early retirement unfold naturally
