Summary
On this episode we’ll be focusing on two popular milestones, Coast FI (which you reach before you get to FI) and Lean FIRE (which is the earliest of the FIRE milestone and where you’ve actually reached Financial Independence). I’ll be sharing 5 questions you can ask yourself that can help you choose which FIRE milestone to aim for.
