Doug and Carl work through a case study from listener Frank and also answer questions from the Facebook mailbag.
- Frank – Has a stressful, yet well paying job. Should he stay at his current job, which he doesn’t like so much, or move on to something else that he’s been contemplating for a while?
- Rich
- What does a typical daily meal and snack look like? If you had to change it up, what would you do to make it more ideal?
- What are a couple of key takeaways that you have learned by chatting with other FIRE folks that you are trying to instill in your life?
- If you had a second home, what city or state would it be in and why?
- Paddy – Carl has built an Allan Block retaining wall; would he do this again or hire out? If so, any tips?
- John – Who wins in a footrace – Doug or Carl?
