Retire in your 30s! A Purple Life and Financial Mechanic discuss Financial Independence / Retire Early (FIRE)

#3: Two 20-something women planning to retire in their 30s
tell-all: the exact dollars and cents of their FIRE plans, the
advice they’d give themselves in their early 20s, aligning your
spending and lifestyle with your values, and how to handle the
risks of retiring in your 30s.


A Purple Life is striving to retire from her full-time job in
September of 2020 to eat her way across the world. She has been
able to accelerate this goal by increasing her income through job
hopping and decreasing her spending with domestic geo-arbitrage.


Financial Mechanic is mechanical engineer turned programmer with
a pretty big DIY project: save enough money to become financially
independent. She's saved 380k by the age of 26 by living
frugally, increasing her income, and investing the rest.


This episode was recorded live at FinCon 2019! It’s a casual
chat, and at one point, my guests even turn the interview around
on me!

wait until you’re 65 to start living, give this episode a listen.
