Early Retirement Extreme – A Systems Approach to Lifestyle Design - Financial Independence Podcast
- Summary: I had heard about this approach to FI but had zero interest in the lifestyle until I heard this podcast. I was shocked at the technical yet philisophical approach that Jacob took to FI. After hearing this podcast I immediately sought out a copy of his book. This is more about economic indpedence rather than financial independence, which is an extremely powerful concept. Hearing Jacob speak makes it clear that he is not living in depravity but does indeed lead a rich and fulfilling life.
