If you want to retire early, the Mad Fientist is your guide. For over a decade, Brandon, more commonly known as the “Mad Fientist,” has been running simulations, experiments, and exercises to discover which road to early retirement is the fastest. Now, in his forties, Brandon has time to reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and his regrets on the sprint to early retirement and financial freedom. And he’s also got a new update that’ll make your early retirement journey smoother.
After tinkering with the beloved and rarely challenged 4% rule, Brandon decided it was time to sit down and calculate how much you really need to retire early. For decades, financial freedom chasers have been breaking their backs, trying to have as much stashed away as possible to enjoy their well-earned time off from work. But, it turns out that this number might be overinflated, and you can retire with much less than you think. That means your early retirement timeline just got a LOT shorter.
In this episode, Brandon will describe why the 4% rule may be a bit too rigid, how to ensure you’ll have enough during early retirement, what to do during a market crash or correction, and why spending thousands of dollars on a coffee machine isn’t such a bad idea. If you want to maximize enjoyment in early retirement, instead of building a big bank account you probably won’t use, stick around!
In This Episode We Cover
Early retirement rules of thumb you MUST know when on the path to FIRE
The 4% rule and why you DON’T need to follow it to a tee
Retirement withdrawal rules and how much to spend during a crash/correction
The skill of spending and what Brandon regrets most from pre-FIRE life
Tracking your expenses and why knowing your costs is CRUCIAL to early retirement
And So Much More!

Are you worried you won’t be able to retire at sixty-five? Feeling financially limited in your fifties and need a retirement plan so you can finally stop working? Well, we made this episode just for you. Today, we’re teaching you how to retire on time at age sixty-five (or even retire early!) if you’re starting from zero with no money to your name. We spell out exactly what we would do to go from a zero-dollar net worth to a million dollars in retirement!
This is a step-by-step plan that anyone who wants to retire on time can follow. We’ll walk through two personas: Barb, a recently divorced stay-at-home mom reentering the workforce with a zero-dollar net worth. Then, we’ll touch on Sally, a six-figure income earner who also is starting from zero. Both scenarios take slightly different steps, so listen closely because your income level could completely change your money moves!
Don’t give up on retirement! No matter your age, these simple steps can help get you to a financially stable (if not flourishing) position. We’ll talk about how to make more money, cut expenses, save every month, which investments you should prioritize for retirement, and what to do if you’re still in debt!
In This Episode We Cover
How to go from broke at fifty to millionaire (and retirement-ready!) at sixty
The one beginner-friendly investment that could make you richer (faster) than traditional retirement accounts
Starting a side hustle and how to make more money so you can retire faster
The passive, stable, and relatively safe investment that anyone can put their money into
When to pay off debt and which interest rates to prioritize first
How to become a personal finance genius in just a year simply by “listening”
And So Much More!

Alex Preziosi wants to reach financial independence by the age of forty-five, and with several hundred thousand dollars in retirement accounts, brokerage accounts, and savings, she’s on pace to do just that. But now, she’s thinking about quitting her W2 job. Can she still hit her FI goal? Today’s guest has good problems, but problems, nonetheless!
Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Since we last spoke with Alex, she has made two major leaps on her journey to financial independence. First, she has taken up house hacking, which pays for most of her mortgage in an expensive area of the US. But that’s not all. She has also grown her side hustle as a real estate agent into a full-fledged business, where she now earns more than she does at her W2 job! These moves have only widened the gap between her income and her expenses, and, as a result, she’s sitting on an even bigger pile of cash.
Now, Alex finds herself at yet another crossroads. Is her W2 holding her back? Should she pursue full-time entrepreneurship while she has such a strong cash position? Stay tuned as we dive into the numbers and try to figure out Alex’s best path to FI by forty-five!
In This Episode We Cover
The best path for Alex to reach financial independence by forty-five
When to leave your W2 job and pursue full-time entrepreneurship
How to lower (or eliminate!) your housing cost with the house hacking strategy
Where to invest a large amount of cash (stock market versus real estate)
Tax strategies that could help you save a fortune over your lifetime
And So Much More!

Many people struggle with money anxiety, even those in the FIRE community. Your money fears could keep you on the sidelines, or it could have the opposite effect, making you ultra-conservative with your retirement savings. Today, we’re diving into five of the most common financial fears, whether they’re worth fretting about, and what to do about them!
Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Do you ever worry about your finances? You’re not alone! Maybe you’re concerned about your FIRE number being too low and running out of money in retirement. Maybe you’ve wondered whether you’ll ever be able to afford a house or if the “grind” to financial independence is even worth it. We’ve pulled the most common concerns about money and are going to respond to each of them in today’s show!
Tune in to learn how much money you actually need to comfortably retire, how to deal with burnout on the journey to FIRE, and if you’re “missing out on life” by practicing frugality in your youth. Scott and Mindy will even debate whether the returns from real estate investing are worth the trouble of managing rental properties!
In This Episode We Cover
How much money you actually need to retire (and if the four-percent rule still works)
Renting versus buying a house amidst today’s high home prices and interest rates
Whether the “grind” to early retirement is worth it (and what you should do if it’s not!)

Whether you “miss out on life” by living frugally and racing toward retirement
And So Much More!

Dion McNeeley retired in just ten years after starting from not just zero but NEGATIVE. He was forty years old with $89,000 in debt, had no assets, a low-paying job, and zero investing experience. Thanks to his “lazy” method of building wealth, he was able to amass millions of dollars in assets, create over $200,000 per year in passive income streams, and retire just ten years after starting his journey to FIRE. Can you do it, too, even in today’s markets? Yes!
Dion did what most people aren’t willing to: lower your cost of living, spend less, save more, and yes…house hack. He built a small real estate portfolio just by house hacking alone. Still, thanks to the compounding effect of real estate, Dion’s passive income from the rentals began to overtake his monthly expenses. Now, he rakes in four to five times more than he could ever spend. Who wouldn’t want a $200,000 per year income stream in retirement?!
But it’s NOT too late to copy Dion’s exact strategy. In fact, Dion is sharing why NOW is one of the best times ever to get into real estate investing and how you, too, in ten years or less, could be making major passive income and enjoying early retirement!
In This Episode We Cover
How to explode your passive income by slowly investing in real estate
Dion’s journey from $89,000 in debt and low-paying jobs to financial freedom
Why Dion encourages you to IGNORE what everyone is saying about the housing market
A $1,000,000 mistake that Dion made that you should NOT repeat (DON’T pay off your house!)
Why Dion doesn’t care about growing a big real estate portfolio (and you shouldn’t either!)
And So Much More!

There’s a “middle-class trap” that can keep anyone from FIRE—yes, even high-income earners. Today’s guest has a sizable nest egg that should allow her to retire early, but there are a few roadblocks in her way!
At forty-seven, Allie has already built a net worth of $3,800,000. She would like to retire, and most people would assume she has enough to retire, but there are two problems. First, she lives in Orange County, California, one of the most expensive areas in the U.S., and has no plans to leave. The other issue? She has no cash! All of her money is tied up in home equity and retirement accounts. To retire, Allie has a BIG bet to make—one that could have a multi-million-dollar impact on her portfolio!
Using Scott’s “Keep or Sell Your Home” worksheet, we’ll look at whether it would make more sense for Allie to keep or sell her Laguna Beach property. Will turning this home into a rental property give her the cash flow she needs, or is selling it and investing in the stock market the better long-term play? Tune in as we attempt to thread the needle and provide Allie with the best roadmap for a long, early retirement!
In This Episode We Cover
What Allie should do to reallocate her $3,800,000 nest egg and achieve financial freedom
What to do with money locked up in home equity and retirement accounts
Keeping your home as a rental property versus selling it and investing elsewhere
Creative ways to improve your cash position so that you can retire early
Building wealth with short-term rentals, live-in flips, and other real estate strategies
Escaping the “middle-class trap” of earning high income in a high-cost-of-living area

Is frugality overrated? Is hustle culture a waste of time? Do we over-save for retirement? You don’t have to look very far to find a hot take online, but is there some truth to these opinions? Today, we’ll wade through bad financial advice, bust common money myths, and (hopefully) find some personal finance tips we agree with!
Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Personal finance is personal for a reason. Spending, saving, and investing vary from one person to the next based on their habits, risk tolerance, and season of life. But how much advice is just flat-out wrong? In this episode, Mindy and Amanda Wolfe are breaking down some of the internet’s wildest views on money. First, we’ll share some of the biggest lies we were told about money when we started our financial independence journeys—like “the stock market is too risky” and “you should work until age sixty-five.”
Then, we’ll dive into seven controversial opinions and whether there’s any validity to them. Should FIRE-focused folks ever take work sabbaticals? Is a one or two-month emergency fund enough in 2024? Is being a lifelong renter ever a savvy move? Which takes do we oppose, and which advice is actually worth following? Stay tuned to find out!
In This Episode We Cover
The biggest lies about money Mindy and Amanda used to believe
Whether work sabbaticals are a smart use of money on the journey to FIRE
The case against budgets and why you probably have one (even if you think you don’t)
Whether Americans save TOO much money for retirement (and why!)
Why it’s not overkill to keep a six-to-twelve-month emergency fund in 2024
The costs of buying a house and whether renting is ever the better retirement play
And So Much More!

If you follow the almost unbelievable path of today’s guest, you, too, could achieve financial independence in your thirties. Would we recommend mimicking his strategy step-by-step? No! Because if you get it wrong, you could be further from FIRE than when you started. Only the most prudent, risk-tolerant, and financially savvy among us could do what Andrew Schrader did.
After racking up six figures in car loans and student debt, Andrew knew something needed to change quickly. Thanks to his financial discipline, he paid his debts down fast, but what would he now do with the money he was sending toward debt every month? After a coworker threatened to quit on the spot without a care in the world (the coworker was FI), Andrew knew exactly what his next goal was.
So, he set out to do the impossible: Stretch his dollar as frugally as possible, spending in a year what many Americans live off of for a month and taking calculated bets that he knew the risks of. His unbelievable journey to FI will have you squirming in your chair (like Mindy did!) as you hear what incredible lengths you can go to reach your financial goals WAY faster than most Americans.
In This Episode We Cover
How to reach financial freedom in your thirties by taking “calculated” risks
The exact method Andrew used to pay off $100,000 in debt
Why house hacking may be the single best decision for FIRE-chasers
Why Andrew put an entire home renovation on a credit card when he was close to broke
Emergency funds 101 and why it’s crucial to have money in the bank when buying real estate
Saving tons of money by cutting out a “category” every month

Would you move abroad to reach FI faster? That wasn’t Brooklin Nash’s original goal when he left the US and began freelancing from afar. But now, years later, he realizes how much of a leg up he has financially by going all-in on “geo arbitrage.” He’s saving a boatload in Guatemala, paying less to live the life he loves, and enjoying a tiny tax bill. Now in his mid-thirties, he’s already Coast FIRE and works when and where he wants.
But Brooklin’s money story didn’t start so stable. Being raised in a home with “risky” finances, to say the least (pyramid schemes, gambling, etc.), left him scarred and constantly worrying about keeping enough money in the bank. Thankfully, he changed his ways and realized that making money, rather than just saving every cent, was crucial to becoming financially free.
He’s paid off a significant sum in student loans and did it all while making a very meager income. Then, he scaled from freelancing abroad to building an entire business, making a phenomenal income while living in a low-cost-of-living area. He’s living his dream life outside the US, making more money than Americans at home. Imagine what THAT can do for your FIRE number!
In This Episode We Cover
Using “geo arbitrage” to save more, invest more, and lower your cost of living
An almost unbelievable income tax exclusion Americans abroad can access
How Brooklin paid off $80,000 in student debt (even on a lower income)
Turning your freelancing work into a full-blown (and VERY high-paying) business
Why the optimal FIRE lifestyle may actually include working a few hours a day
And So Much More!

Could a few years of aggressive saving put you in the fast lane for financial independence? Is the grind even worth it? Today’s guest was well on his way to a comfy retirement but had never thought about retiring early. Then he discovered the FIRE movement, and with just four years of all-out hustle, he was able to retire at fifty!
Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! In 2020, Eric Reinholdt experienced a financial “awakening” that set him on a death march to FI and early retirement. For four years, he minimized his spending, maximized his savings, and threw every extra dollar at his investments. Today, he’s “chubby FI,” has a paid-off house, and is recently “retired”— working just ten hours per week on his own business while preparing to travel the world in 2025!
But was the glamorous destination worth the grueling journey? Should Eric have started earlier or slowed down to reach his FI number? Tune in to hear about the major lifestyle changes he and his wife made to accelerate retirement, the different levers he pulled to grow his nest egg, and the steps you might need to take if you want to replicate his success!
In This Episode We Cover
How this entrepreneur reached “chubby FI” by the age of fifty
When to slow down and enjoy the journey to financial independence
Flexing your “spending muscle” while saving for an early retirement
Why building your own business gives you a huge “buffer” for FIRE
Why you need monthly financial check-ins with your significant other
What Eric plans to do in retirement (and why he’s NOT giving up work entirely!)
And So Much More!

Is paying off debt or investing (and potentially using more debt) the best way to reach FIRE? The average American has $104,215 in mortgages, student loans, credit cards, and other debt. Where do YOU stand? If the end goal is FIRE, you need a game plan for your debt, in which case this episode is for you!
Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Not all debt is bad. When used responsibly, it can be a powerful tool that allows you to buy appreciating assets and hedge against inflation. Today, guest co-hosts Kyle Mast and Amanda Wolfe join our panel to share their thoughts on debt. We’ll share how much debt we each have (ranging from zero to millions), how our philosophies on debt have evolved, and how debt can ultimately help you reach FIRE.
But that’s not all. We’ll also discuss the types of bad debt that could derail your FIRE journey and the investments you don’t want to be stuck with during an economic downturn. We’ll even get into the most important financial protection against debt risk—savings and reserves—and why these funds should grow proportionally to your debt!
In This Episode We Cover
Paying off debt versus investing (and which strategy is best for FIRE)
Why well-leveraged debt is one of the best long-term hedges against inflation
The types of debt that could propel you toward an early retirement
“Bad” real estate investments you don’t want to be holding during a market downturn
The most irresponsible uses of debt (that you should avoid at all costs!)
Why you should always grow your savings and reserves in tandem with debt
How much debt WE have (and how our opinions on debt have changed)
And So Much More!

Yes, it’s possible to retire early, even if you’re just now diving into the FIRE movement. Early retirement could be within reach whether you’re in your twenties, thirties, forties, or fifties. Imagine having complete freedom in a decade or less: no office politics, no boss, and, best of all, no spreadsheets! That’s the life Arik Peterson built when he retired early at forty-four, leaving behind a demanding career in corporate investing.
After reading Mr. Money Mustache’s unmatched FIRE blog, Arik drastically changed his saving and investing habits, increasing his savings rate to seventy percent and redirecting his money into simple, steady investments many overlook. Today, his life looks vastly different—he spends his days fishing, biking, creating art, and working on DIY projects instead of staring at a computer screen, crunching numbers.
In this episode, Arik shares his complete strategy for reaching financial independence, why he’s skeptical of the 4% rule, his current investment choices, and how an unexpected layoff turned into his golden opportunity. Ready to ditch corporate America? Follow Arik’s plan!
In This Episode We Cover
Why you must increase your savings rate if you want to reach FIRE fast
The simple, low-cost investment Arik has in his early retirement portfolio
Why you don’t need to follow the 4% rule to finally quit your job and retire
Making money in retirement and living off of side income streams
Arik’s killer advice for Roth investing that could make you tax-free millions
And So Much More!

Are you saving TOO much for retirement (or early retirement)? Could you retire years sooner than you think? Will retirement expenses be even less than what you spend now, allowing you to reach FIRE faster with a smaller nest egg? Today, we’re getting into that exact question as Finance Friday guest Ethan asks how he can ensure he’s on the right track for early retirement by age fifty-five. And if you’re like Ethan, you could retire RIGHT NOW…but should you?
Ethan is spending a LOT of money every month. He’s got two kids in private school, extracurricular sports fees, pricey car payments, and a mortgage. The good news? He’s raking in cash at his high-paying tech job! His current expenses cost him nearly $20,000 per month, but this number could be cut in half (if not more) once his kids leave the house. This means that his FIRE number might be a fraction of what he thinks it has to be to retire early.
Speaking of early retirement, is it wise to leave such a high-paying career to sit on the beach all day? Ethan has the skills and the energy to make a sizable income, so what should he do instead of full-time work once he reaches early retirement? Should he transition to part-time consulting, focus more on rental property investing, or buy a business?
In This Episode We Cover
Why your FIRE number may be WAY off from what you need to retire early
The retirement expenses that disappear once your kids are out of the house
Making money in retirement and whether buying a hands-off business is your best bet
Planning for future weddings and how much you should set aside for your kid’s big day
Limiting your taxes by qualifying for real estate professional status (REPS)
Whether or not you’re keeping too much cash on hand (is the bank account interest worth it?)
And So Much More!

You can attack financial independence from one of two angles. You can create a strict timeline for achieving FIRE, or you can calculate your FIRE number and take your time with it. Which approach works best, and should you ever move the goalposts? Stay tuned to find out!
Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Today, Scott and Mindy are reflecting on their journeys to financial freedom—how they started, set realistic objectives, and allowed those objectives to evolve. They’ll also share about the major “events” that propelled them toward their goals, the big lifestyle changes they have made since reaching financial independence, and the ONE thing they wish they had done differently!

This combination will allow you to save more money, multiply your investments, and accelerate your FI timeline. But that’s not all. You’ll also hear about the job “trap” that keeps so many people from reaching FIRE, and why time (NOT money) is the resource we’re all actually chasing!
In This Episode We Cover
The crucial figure you need to pin down before setting your FI timeline
Why time, not money, is the resource every FIRE-focused person really wants
When to move the goalposts on your quest for financial independence

Everyone wants to become “work-optional” at some point. Having enough money in investments and the bank would allow you to choose the job you love most, whether that’s running your own business, working part-time, or today’s guest, Travis’ dream, becoming a mountain biking guide. With a solid salary, dual income, and no plans for kids, he and his wife are on the fast track to FIRE, but can they get there by his goal of forty years old?
Travis’ wife may have an option to get a significant salary bump, allowing them to travel the country while she works, and Travis stays making money from his computer. But, even this may not be enough to get them to the “work optional by forty” goal they had set out for themselves. Scott and Mindy believe they need a financial “oomph” to get them over the edge, but what’s the next best move?
Should he stop his retirement account contributions to have more cash to invest for early retirement? Should he perform a live-in flip to make more money on the side while working his job? Would a side hustle or part-time job bridge the investing gap between where they are and where they need to be? If you’re stuck feeling like you can’t get to FI fast enough, this episode is for YOU!
In This Episode We Cover
How to fast-track your FIRE and become work optional in under ten years
House hacking and why it’s one of the best ways to lower expenses and build wealth
Live in flipping and how to turn your next home purchase into a money-making investment
Whether you should stop investing or double down on your retirement accounts when shooting for early retirement
Roth conversion ladders, HSAs (health savings accounts), and how to access retirement funds even earlier
Increasing your income by job hopping and leveling up the skills that’ll make you more
And So Much More!

The combination of saving money and buying rentals is a recipe for reaching financial independence much faster than you thought possible. Just ask today’s guest, who started with tens of thousands of dollars in debt but was able to achieve FI in just a few years!
Henry Washington is a real estate investor, author of Real Estate Deal Maker, and co-host of the On the Market podcast, but he doesn’t have your typical “rags-to-riches” money story. Despite an upper-middle-class upbringing and landing a six-figure job right out of college, Henry was a serial spender. Before he knew it, he had racked up $40,000 in credit card debt and was told by banks that he was unlendable. Horrified by what his family’s future would look like on its current trajectory, Henry was determined to get his finances in check. He caught the real estate bug, attended meetups and networking events, befriended other investors, and found his first deal!
Henry went on to build and scale a real estate portfolio of over 140 units, and in this episode, he provides actionable advice that will help you break into real estate—whether you aspire to own a single rental property or twenty. Along the way, you’ll learn about “gamifying” your way to financial freedom, funding a down payment without money in the bank, and the recession-proof investing strategy Henry still uses today!
In This Episode We Cover
How Henry scaled his real estate portfolio to over 140 units in just seven years
How “gamifying” your finances can turn you from a spender into a saver
Why finding good deals is the key to a recession-proof investing strategy
Getting a crash course in real estate investing through local meetups and networking
Creative ways to come up with the down payment for an investment property
The three phases of rental property investing that lead to generational wealth
And So Much More!
