This week, we're getting real about financial independence and why it doesn’t have to mean deprivation. Jean sits down with JL Collins, the “Godfather of Financial Independence,” to talk about the relaunch of his bestselling book The Simple Path to Wealth: Your Road Map to Financial Independence and a Rich, Free Life. In a world of rising prices, economic anxiety, and market volatility, does the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement still work? JL says yes. If you've ever wondered whether financial independence is realistic for you or how to start moving toward it (even slowly), this episode is for you. We’re talking index funds, cash cushions, mindset shifts, and how to build resilience when you’re inundated with questionable financial advice.
