Live Your Ideal Life Before Retirement with Jessica from the Fioneers

#26: Don’t wait until you retire to start doing things you love.
As you save money towards retirement, there are ways to use your
incremental financial freedom to start living your ideal
lifestyle now. Jessica from the Fioneers shares the concept of
SlowFI, and how it allows you to utilize the financial freedom
you gain along the way to live a happier and more fulfilling life
now. Jessica also shares how she is on a 10-year timeline to
financial independence (FI) even though she and her husband both
work in the nonprofit sector and live in a high cost of living
area. 


In this episode, we talk about:


How to make sure you enjoy the process of achieving FI

Why you don’t have to work a job you hate to retire early

How working less can actually SAVE you money

Going part-time without extending your timeline to FI

Why you should pursue meaningful work now
