Financial Independence and Slow Travel with Mr. Nomad Numbers | Episode #21

The Nomad on FIRE Podcast | Mr. Nomad Numbers | Episode #21 Shownotes

Guest Bio:

Mr. Nomad Numbers and his wife sold most of their possessions, moved out of San Francisco, and quit their well paid & comfortable jobs to slow travel the world... indefinitely. They’ve learned a lot about what it takes to design a life that was true to themselves (and not to what society told them) so they started their blog NomadNumbers.com to inspire others to do the same and achieve their ideal lifestyle.

In this episode, Mr. Nomad Numbers talks about how he got involved in the FIRE movement, the financial independence lifestyle, the strategies that he has learned along the way to balance finances, his relationship, their life goals, their health, and how to build and strengthen a community of like-minded people along the way.

Significant quotes:
