Episode 2 - Expenses - have you started tracking? Where can you cut? How much will that be worth in the future?
<p>Here I cover what ChatGPT and other online tools identify as household expenses and my own personal experience in trying to cut down on expenses. For most people it's significantly easier to cut down expenses than it is to increase income. Doing both will help you reach your FIRE number faster, but it's all about making sure you have a plan. </p> <p><a href="https://www.valuepenguin.com/average-household-budget" target="_blank">https://www.valuepenguin.com/average-household-budget </a> - here are the average household expenses </p> <p><a href="http://www.math.com/students/calculators/source/compound.htm" target="_blank">http://www.math.com/students/calculators/source/compound.htm</a> - here is the compounding calculator </p> <p>This link gets you $20 off your first bill. - Check out this page: <a href="https://www.visible.com/get/?3MFGCRG" target="_blank">https://www.visible.com/get/?3MFGCRG</a>, it has all the info you need to know about joining Visible.

EPISODE 1 - What's your Fire number? How do you calculate it? What resources are out there to help?
<p>Here's the first podcast and it's a VIDEO podcast. Here I discuss how I retired at 49 and how I came up with my number. I also provide resources. The goal by the next episode is for the listener to have their FIRE number so that we can move on to other tools. The 2 things you should have by the next episode are your yearly expenses and your FIRE number. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Here are the links I reference in the podcast:</p> <p><br></p> <p>Pod Twitter Account - <a href="https://twitter.com/firewithgarypod" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/firewithgarypod</a></p> <p>Retirement Calculator - <a href="https://www.playingwithfire.co/retirementcalculator" target="_blank">https://www.playingwithfire.co/retirementcalculator</a></p> <p>Investopedia definition - <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/financial-independence-retire-early-fire.asp" target="_blank">https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/financial-independence-retire-early-fire.asp</a></p> <p>Mint - <a href="https://mint.intuit.com" target="_blank">https://mint.intuit.com</a></p> <p>Personal Capital - <a href="https://www.personalcapital.com" target="_blank">https://www.personalcapital.com</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Links to the Podcast: <a href="https://linktr.ee/firewithgary " target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/firewithgary </a></p>
