    Telling People You're Retired or Wealthy | MHFI 208 Mar 26, 2024
    Show notes

    Doug and Carl (along with special guest co-host Georgie the dog) explore the concept of stealth wealth. Each provides their personal money story & how much work it took to arrive at their current position, the pros & cons of sharing one’s financial status with others, and how this knowledge impacts social interactions & relationships. They also discuss giving and helping others responsibly, using wealth to support people in meaningful ways rather than in response to direct requests for money.

    Show notes

    Doug and Carl visit Culdesac, a unique car-free rental apartment community in Tempe, AZ that redefines the typical American neighborhood by focusing on sustainability, communal living spaces, and alternative transportation options.

    I Hit Barista FI, But Now I Like My Job - Kim Ehardt | MHFI 202 Feb 13, 2024
    Show notes

    Doug and Carl chat with Kim Ehardt, a firefighter from Austin, Texas, who unknowingly achieved Barista FI through careful savings and an unconventional career path. Despite her financial status and ability to leave her current profession, Kim articulates a desire to shift focus from financial security alone to personal fulfillment, purpose, and happiness. Kim’s future plans include life coaching to help others achieve their goals and potentially even starting her own podcast.
