info_outlineWithin the last decade, the Financial Independence Retire Early (FI/RE) movement has gained a cult-like following, with grassroots communities touting the benefits of living frugally today whilst creating wealth for tomorrow. Veronica and Chris talk with Matt, the host of the Aussie Firebug podcast. Since 2013 Matt has focused on retiring early by creating income streams from property, shares and labour, he projects that he will finally achieve FI/RE by his mid-thirties.
Chris asks hard questions about the movement’s current state, particularly citing the communities’ detrimental perspective on the yield over capital growth debate. Will this financial fad burn bright financially liberating individuals, or will the flame fizzle out with unfounded claims and misleading financial advice?
If you have ever been curious about the FI/RE movement, this is the episode for you.
