Comments: Thanks so

Chase You are absolutely
right that they are both incredibly knowledgeable and inspirational. Really
glad to hear you enjoyed the interview! - Mad Fientist.
Really a
great interview. It’s so fun to hear their perspectives and experiences.
Definitely sounds like an attractive lifestyle! - Joshua
To me it sounds like the
perfect lifestyle so that’s why I was so excited to speak to them! - Mad Fientist
Brandon, I
really enjoyed the Kaderli interview. I’ve listened to several interviews of
them and have read several of
their books, and I still learned some new
things from your interview. How long did it take to arrange the interview,
and how did you prepare for the interview? I can also attest that they do
respond to their emails. - Jeff
Great interview! Given
your hopes of travel in early retirement I’m glad you decided to talk to
them.
For me, the Kaderlis and
Terhorsts ignited my passion to seek early retirement. Both truly remarkable
couples.
You mentioned it in your
interview but it is amazing that they decided to embark on that life without
any role models. As Billy mentioned, the 4% rule didn’t even exist – at
least not in any meaningful public way.
Flexibility and problem solving seem
to be the key. It seems to have allowed them to deal with any problem that
crosses their path including
health care coverage. Thanks for the shout-out
in the opening.
Totally not necessary
though. - Prob8
I very much enjoyed his
interview, thank you for giving us these podcasts! I think one of my
favorite parts of the interview was when Akaisha pointed out that the
toughest part of pursuing FI was
the emotional aspect. I’m finding that as
my wife and I get closer to achieving FI (in about 16 months) I am spending
more time worrying and thinking about things like status anxiety. That is,
how will I handle the fact that I won’t have the newest and biggest toys? At
an intellectual level it is very easy for me to simply dismiss those
feelings, but I think it’ll be more challenging than that. The numbers
aspect of our journey is pretty straightforward and now we have it down to a
simple and efficient formula (the usual LBYM coupled with wise investment
decisions). Btw, I love the lightning round! Keep up the good work. - Spoonman
The emotions that
surround FI are rarely talked about so I also enjoyed listening to Akaisha
describe what it was like for her. So far my emotions have been mostly
positive but we’ll see what happens next year when I finally reach the
finish line. - Mad Fientist
