Summary

On today’s episode of the Financial Independence Podcast, I interview my wife, Jill!

It took a lot of persuading to get her on the show but I’m glad she agreed because her perspective is very different from mine so it was interesting to hear her thoughts on financial independence, early retirement, and this unconventional life we lead!

Highlights:

When my wife found out I was a weirdo with money
My lowest point as a cheapskate
Why Jill and I kept our finances separate
The importance of figuring out your perfect life
How to get your spouse on board with FI
Why you should start small when trying new things
What I do that annoys my wife most
