Hello and welcome to Choose a Phi. Today on the show we have my friend Amy Minkley who I recently met at the economy conference.

And Amy's story has a little bit of everything. I say that fairly often and it almost sounds right,

but this is the example of literally the story having everything.

And just the short list of topics that we could potentially talk about are leaving a high-paying job,

georbitrage, teaching in Japan, mini-retimerons, international teaching, slow travel, gap years,

Bali, one more year syndrome, finding Phi, and then going to every Phi in person event you could

group, which wound up being a rousing success, though. I think we were a little worried about it at the

beginning, because what's so nice about these Phi events, and I think the power of in-person events,

whether they're choose a Phi local meetup groups to camp Phi's, to economies, to Shitakeweta,

your Phi freedom retreat, which is going to happen later this year, is people just become

these fast friends, right? And we have so much in common, and it really is about meeting other

people there, meeting friends as opposed to listening to a speaker necessarily. And I think you and I

realize that right away, just in that very one hour presentation. Yeah, definitely. I mean, I feel

like when we have the same values as far as money, so many other things fall into place. And we

think outside the box, people in the fire movement, we are living intentionally, we want to design our

life and really utilize our time and our energy to the best of our ability. And so I just find that
