Interview With The Fioneers!

September 20, 2021 by Mr. 1500 Days 3 Comments

Hey look, the Fioneers interviewed me for their Slow FI interview series and it’s live today: https://thefioneers.com/death-march-to-financial-independence/

Fioneer Jess asked me to participate in the interview over 1 year ago. I wish that I would have gone this slow in my FI journey. Whoops!

Thanks Jess for this opportunity and infinite patience!

I’ve been following your blog for quite some time and the interview was a really fantastic retrospective and perspective of not just your FIRE journey, but life itself. My biggest takeaway is to focus on my own happiness daily. Thank you for sharing.

* The big jump between 2019 and 2020 was partly because we bought another home, but kept the previous (much more expensive) one as a rental. We have since sold it.

*** Includes our primary home equity in addition to our investment portfolio.

Finally, we still have about $290,000 in mortgage debt (which I love!). No regrets about the debts!
