**Mile High FI Podcast**

Real talk about Financial Independence and life after corporate jobs. Doug Cunnington and Carl Jensen talk about FI, lifestyle, side hustles, health, and anything on their minds. Plus, they interview experts and non-experts interested in the FI lifestyle. It’s raw, candid, pretty much like you get to sit in on a private conversation.

Mailbag! | MHFI 129 Nov 18, 2022

Show notes

It's a mailbag episode! We check in with what's been going on with both of us, and then field questions:

Would FIRE be impossible if most people weren't working and consuming at a high level?
Should I give up a low-paying job I love to go for a higher-paying job and chase FIRE more quickly?
What job would we take if we had to work again?
What non-financial advice would you give to your younger self?
Do we think hobbies like learning an instrument or a language are "non productive"?
Is it difficult to make friends post-retirement?

Support the Mile High FI Podcast [bonus] Keep MHFI AD-FREE! Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

If you like the show, you can help support us. It costs money each month to produce the show. MHFI will always be out there for free, but if you can spare a few bucks a month, we can avoid ads altogether. We want to try a donation model before ads. We prefer to stay AD-FREE!! So even if we earn less money with donations, that's okay. We'd love to have monthly supporters, but there is an option for one-time donations. If you support monthly, you'll get access to bonus content, merch, hang out with Carl and Doug, and our undying appreciation. Thanks for the support!
