Overcoming Poverty and Adversity to Retire Early with Jackie Cummings Koski

#24: After overcoming poverty, divorce and single motherhood,
Jackie still reached FIRE in her 40s, making less than six
figures. Jackie Cummings Koski shares how she reached financial
independence in just 10 years, and retired in December 2019. Now,
she’s following her dream of creating a financially literate
society. Jackie talks about how she overcame poverty, became a
1st generation college graduate, learned how to save and invest,
and taught her daughter about personal finance.


In this episode, we discuss:


Why Jackie waited 2 years after FI to retire early

How to get past the taboo and talk about money

How Jackie’s path to FIRE differed from the norm

How to teach others (especially your kids) about finance
