  • More Ginger Please

    When is Ginger going to start her own podcast? She’s been the best part of the last year’s episodes. We need a fresh voice and perspective out there.

  • This Show Changed my Life!

    I first heard Brad on Chris Hutchins podcast and it really peaked my interest. I went down the FI rabbit hole and found that there was a way out of the working class trap. While I don’t always agree with everything that is said on the podcast I enjoy the different perspectives on FI but really this show isn’t about money. It’s about living a better life. Thanks for everything & keep up the great work!

  • Amazing guests and conversations

    Love this show and it’s been so helpful in envisioning a FI life. I really like episodes where you have a guest who shares their journey. Brad is a great interviewer but sometimes he tries to have a conversation and shares stories we’ve heard many times. He gets stuck on a few stories that we’ve heard over and over (rollercoasters, Bono, etc.). I also enjoyed Ginger’s takeover eps. She seems like a delightful person!! I wanted to come back here and add a couple of things. The more I listen, the ... more

  • Doesn't practice what he preaches

    Host lives off the podcast's income which makes what he preaches pretty disingenuous. It doesn't help that most guests are single/no kids or have marital problems (host included). Hoping to find more relevant podcasters.

  • I love ginger!

    Ginger is the best!! I love every episode that she leads. The other host (Brad?) shines where vulnerability is needed; I like that he’s open about his anxiety and insecurity but do think he should get into therapy bc it really comes through.

    Some of the more recent episodes are reading as insecure ego trips and the one about the 4hr work week guy gives grift.

    The recent episode with the song (539?) was IMPOSSIBLY cringey why is there a song and why is this being discussed was a revolution witho... more

Safe Withdrawal Rates, Drawdown Strategies, RMDs and 50 Year FI Timelines
Q: What are the implications of required minimum distributions (RMDs) on the safe withdrawal rate?
Fritz notes that RMDs apply only to pre-tax accounts and do not affect overall safe withdrawal rates since they can be reinvested instead of being spent.
Safe Withdrawal Rates, Drawdown Strategies, RMDs and 50 Year FI Timelines
Q: What should early retirees consider when looking at safe withdrawal rates that differ from the traditional 30-year horizon?
Karsten explains that the safe withdrawal rates decrease as the retirement horizon extends beyond 30 years, proposing a more conservative approach instead of doubling the retirement nest egg.
