Guest Maggie Tucker goes beyond superficial answers with Chris and Deb to get to the heart of where she's at on her path to early retirement. Maggie is co-host of the friends on FIRE podcast. Maggie is passionate about minimalism, simple living, and helping people on their journeys through life. She lives in Atlanta, GA with her husband and three daughters.

In this episode, she discusses:

• how/why money conversations can lead to deeper friendships
• her pivot to early retirement
  • why she decided her successful and financially rewarding career is no longer what she wants
  • how she's able to leave it behind
• "bag lady syndrome" and shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset
• the benefits of minimalism and Buddhism
• what is F.I.R.E?
  • Maggie's quote: "...having the freedom to make decisions that aren't based on money."
• deferred compensation plans
• why Maggie isn't already retired though she's able
• ideas for overcoming early retirement fears
