About this listen

 The road to Financial Independence (FI) can seem long and out of reach. Luckily, there are ways to get freedom way before reaching FI! Using FI strategies and Life Design, we discuss practical tips to help you buy your time back, so you can start enjoying your journey to FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early), instead of delaying your freedom until you retired. Whether you want to be debt free, quit a job, spend more time with family, start a passion project, change career, take a sabbatical, find purpose, do nomadic travel or even geographic arbitrage, we got you covered. Let's do this!Greg, a Life Design and FI Enthusiast Personal Development Personal Success

    96. Lean FIRE Abroad: The Faster Path to FI (Geoarbitrage)
    Feb 17 2026

    How can you get to Lean FIRE faster? One of the best ways to do that is to move to a low cost of living area and usually its somewhere warm with a tropical climate. That’s where Geographic Arbitrage (or Geoarbitrage) comes into play. I talk about how Geoarbitrage can speed up your journey to FI, some cities in the world where you can do this and I also share an example of someone who hit Lean FIRE and relocated to Bali in Indonesia to live a life they love.

  • 95. The Case for Lean FIRE (3 Massive Benefits)

    95. The Case for Lean FIRE (3 Massive Benefits)
    Feb 9 2026

    I’ve recently been considering targeting Lean FIRE in the future and today I share 3 compelling benefits I’ve pondered on in favour of Lean FIRE, compared to ‘Traditional FIRE’ and ‘Fat FIRE’. The FI community was more towards Lean FIRE in it’s early days, although recently there has been more of a push towards Chubby FIRE and Fat FIRE. There’s no right or wrong mind you, only what’s right for our own personal situations at specific times in our lives (each to their own as they say!).

    94. The One Change in Your Week for a Happy Life (Enjoying the Journey to FI)
    Jan 24 2026

    On our journey to FI we may encounter what’s called the ‘boring middle’ or we may have so many things on our endless to-do list we forget to do things that are fun and bring us joy. This little tweak in your calendar can help remedy this issue.
