Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, a show dedicated to providing you with the knowledge, skills,

insight and encouragement you need to live a rich and meaningful life now while building a plan

for financial freedom in 10 years or less.

My name is Joshua and today on Radical Personal Finance I'm excited to

bring you an interview with Chris and Christy Moody who are embarking on a

project called Life Opted Out. This interview features two themes. Number one, it's their personal story of packing up all of their possessions, moving out of a penthouse apartment in Manhattan and moving into a cargo van traveling around the country, but it's also an interview project where they are

looking for interesting stories and trying to examine the threads that are happening in

U.S. American culture right now, where many people have

chosen and are choosing to opt out of the more traditional path.

I hope you enjoy this interview.

It's an excellent project. Stay tuned to the end of the

interview for two things. Number one, my hope is that you, a radical, can help Chris and

Christie with their reporting project because their project is a perfect fit

and it dovetails nicely in with radical personal finance.

And I want to help, want you to help them

by providing for them some interesting stories

and interesting research that they can do in possibly

with you or with people that you know and that you know of.

The second thing is stay tuned at the end for a little bit of closing commentary by me on what I am observing

in what Chris and Christie are doing.

Chris and Christie Moody, welcome to the show.

Great to be here, Josh. Hey Josh. So I'm really excited to bring you
