In this episode: FI in your 20s, the boring middle, compounding, fat FI, compounding, checkpoints, and building a life. This week we are joined by Doug and Carl from the Mile High FI podcast to talk about their respective FI journeys and answer a listener question about pursuing FI in your 20s; as well share some tips for enjoying the experience and navigating times in the journey that can feel a bit slow. While figuring out your FI goal requires you to do some work to figure out your FI number, that number and the steps you take to reach that goal are all unique to the individual. That being said, it can be tricky at times to know if you are on the right track when the journey to FI is different for everyone. Remember, although this journey is about reaching financial independence, it’s also about changing and creating the life you want and joining a community that will always inspire you when times feel slow.  Mile High FI: <ul> <li>Podcast: <a href="https://milehighfi.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">milehighfi.com</a></li> <li>Newsletter: <a href= "https://aw1a752b.aweb.page/p/2799e323-8715-4a87-ac53-a91de8fcb5ac" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Join the Mile High FI Club</a></li> </ul> Timestamps: <ul> <li>1:13 - Introduction</li> <li>2:41 - Analyzing Finances In Your 20s</li> <li>9:31 - Compounding Power</li> <li>13:25 - The Boring Middle</li> <li>21:01 - FI Role Models</li> <li>26:41 - Building A Life On The Journey</li> <li>35:01 - Fat FI</li> <li>45:37 - Saving Versus Life Enhancement</li> <li>54:21 - FI Checkpoints</li> <li>57:52 - Conclusion</li> </ul> Resources Mentioned In Today’s Episode: <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.choosefi.com/the-cure-for-the-boring-middle-fioneers-ep-472/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Cure for the Boring Middle | Fioneers | ChooseFI Ep 472</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Mr Money Mustache</a></li> <li><a href="https://jlcollinsnh.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">JL Collins</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Die-Zero-Getting-Your-Money/dp/0358567092/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HHDiXMJ9wqtpUgjtuoU2YxU9bDGEoB4hBL22hNmduKfqHp0OoIrqsYgUMdAFCmpyoMI33kfL9ohn-2TjnwVWmJpVrm3NHdfLyFxHP2Z-lNW8CZmo2az4CEu7yD7XSNsYxBVMiM4lt37Xue-QJvQ4eOpJhhSAus4toe6aGHIkIcVVTHo452kbc_Co6LPGU_GVDuoSJDvAHDncb9Y2vR84GODymKdiHXUnrx80tucIFgs.FhyDCVsLDbvtyDgrvBVtJ7Hr7H91HmU0KRI94ouBuHo&dib_tag=se&hvadid=598656813559&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9015306&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=5756779801853332222&hvtargid=kwd-1834690199912&hydadcr=15529_13558536&keywords=die+with+zero+by+bill+perkins&qid=1709507908&sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">"Die With Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life" by Bill Perkins</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.allthehacks.com/FIRE-spectrum/" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Spectrum of Financial Independence and Tools to Track Your Progress with Brad Barrett</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.choosefi.com/mini-retirements-to-accelerate-your-path-to-fi-jillian-johnsrud-ep-451/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mini-Retirements to Accelerate Your Path to FI | Jillian Johnsrud | ChooseFI Ep 451</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.choosefi.com/the-stages-and-checkpoints-of-fi-ep-324/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Stages and Checkpoints of FI | ChooseFI Ep 324</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.choosefi.com/read/newsletter/">Subscribe to The FI Weekly!</a></li> </ul> More Helpful Links and FI Resources: <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.choosefi.com/top-recommended-travel-cards/" data-type= "post" data-id="153934">Top 10 Recommended Travel Rewards Credit Cards</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.choosefi.com/pc" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener nofollow" data-type="link" data-id= "https://www.choosefi.com/pc">Empower: Free Dashboard to Track Your Finances</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.choosefi.com/CIT_PS" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener nofollow" data-type="link" data-id= "https://www.choosefi.com/CIT_PS">CIT Bank Platinum Savings Account</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.choosefi.com/M1signup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">M1 Finance: Commission-Free Investing, 1-click rebalancing</a></li> <li><a href="https://my.cashfreely.net/share?bref=cfw" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" data-type="link" data-id="https://my.cashfreely.net/share?bref=cfw">CashFreely: Maximize Your Cash Back Rewards</a></li> <li><a href="https://my.travelfreely.net/share?bref=cfw" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" data-type="link" data-id="https://my.travelfreely.net/share?bref=cfw">Travel Freely: Track all your rewards cards and points</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.choosefi.com/legacybinder-blog" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" data-type="post" data-id="8053">Emergency Binder: For Your Family’s Essential Info</a> (code ‘CHOOSEFI’ for 20% off)</li> <li><a href="https://www.studentloanplanner.com/choosefi/" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.studentloanplanner.com/choosefi/">Student Loan Planner: Custom Consult</a> (with $100 Discount)</li> </ul>
