evolved with Intel Evo Platform. Just an ordinary couple. relatively middle class mainstream, but well on their way to financial independence

and my interviewee today has some valuable lessons to share about what's worked, what hasn't worked,

and what they wish they had done differently on their path to financial independence. Welcome to the Radical Personal Finance Podcast. My name is Joshua Sheets and I'm your host. Today is Thursday, November 6, 2014. This is episode

97 of the show. Today I'm going to be interviewing Chris from Eat the Financial Elephant.com.

Chris and his family, they're just ordinary people relatively mainstream

middle-class professionals living a fairly mainstream looking lifestyle

but they're well on their way to Financial Independence.

Chris is going to share some of the stories,

some of the things they've learned,

some of the things they've helped, that have helped them,

and some of the mistakes they've made.

It's a great interview. I hope you enjoy it.

Chris is someone who has reached out on the show to me

and he reached out to me and said hey I'd love to come on the show and share my

story and I've looked around a little bit of his side I first came to my attention because he'd linked over to my show a couple of times so I was able to see some of the things that he'd written about my show and that it was being helpful for him.

And what, and this is a compliment, what struck me about Chris's story and even in our correspondence is that he and his family are relatively remarkably mainstream.

They're not as wacky as some of us. I'm a pretty wacky guy if you've been listening for a while, you know that.
