Today we have a fascinating guest taking over the blog to tell us a bit about his freedom fighting journey. He’s the first doctor we have showecased on the blog, and has already become financially independent (with a net worth around $3M), and work has therefore become optional. He hasn’t pulled the plug on the day job just yet, but he is moving to a reduced work schedule. You could say that he is suffering from a chronic case of “one more year” syndrome. Without further ado, I introduce to you, Physician on Fire… 1) Who are you and what do you do? What is your story? How are you fighting for your Freedom? Where did you start, where in the journey are …

Today we have Nick True, a Mechanical Engineer, and a self proclaimed tightwad. He got married young, at 20 years old, and then proceeded to ruin his honeymoon. But he and his wife got through this, and learned core beliefs and principals that now guide their financial life. I hope you enjoy the interview below. Nick, the floor is yours… Let’s Get This Out Of The Way First I’ve found it’s best to just start off standing on stage, in nothing but my underwear.

So, in the comments, tell us ONE concrete thing you will do after reading this post to get you closer to …

Today we have Nate, the co-founder of Invesement Zen, here to share his story and how he got to where he is today. Not to give away too much, but he is a real estate mogul…of digital properties. Yes, people can actually make a living buying and selling websites. It’s easier than it sounds, I’m sure! Take it away Nate… 1. Who are you and what do you do? What is your story? How are you fighting for your Freedom? Where did you start, where in the journey are you, and where do you ultimately want to end up? Before I answer, I gotta say I love that you describe personal finance as fighting for freedom! Andrew Warner from Mixergy, …

Today we have our 20th Freedom Fighter interview in this series. Our guest today recently started his own personal finance blog about the trade offs between living life and earning money. At 33 years old Will recently paid off all his student loans and is using his blog as a turning point in his financial life. He calls San Francisco home and although he pays a premium to live in such an expensive city, he has a high six figure salary to support it. I will let Will take it from here in his interview below: Who are you and what do you do? What is your story? How are you fighting for your Freedom? Where did you start, where in …
