text: So look, it’s been a blast chatting with you. I know you guys are very busy. But I just thought I’d finish up by asking what are your top three tips for someone who might be just getting started on the path to financial independence?
  Okay, so top tip is to completely map out the life you want, cost it out and save for that. Like I mentioned, I originally was living in Manhattan. And so I was like, Well, I guess I’m always gonna live here. And that was the budget I set, I assumed I was always going to be spending a similar amount. And that’s how I did it. But that’s actually it wasn’t accurate, because I didn’t want to live there forever. So instead, if I had figured out Oh, no, there are other places that have similar salaries, but have the cost of living but much more natural beauty and things that feed my soul and all that stuff like Seattle. Then in the beginning, I could have known that my number was more like half a million US dollars and it’s a little more achievable. Starting number one. Number two would be do experiments. So we talked about changing things like your phone plan. something small like do you actually enjoy going out to restaurants more than having friends over? I assumed I did. I was spending thousands a month on restaurants. I was like, Alright, let’s do an experiment. Let’s have a house party, I’ll buy wine, I’ll make dinner, we’ll have apps like we’ll do everything that the restaurant does. And I’ll cost it out. And oh, look at that it spent, I spent like a 10th of what I would even though I’m paying for everyone else as well, and I had way more fun. So do little experiments like that. And sometimes they don’t work, and that’s fine. So if you take something out of your life, and you’re like, I miss it, put it back in. And I think just doing that, and kind of tweaking really can help you figure out what you want. And then number three would be kind of similar to the experiments. But fostering that idea is, don’t be afraid to be weird. And ask for what you want. Like I mentioned, regretting going to a concert. Now if a friend asks, well, concerts aren’t happening pandemic, but if they were, now when friends would ask if I want to go to a concert, I’d say No thanks. But what if we go on this nature trail instead? So it’s not like I just want to save money, but actually doing what makes me happy. And being upfront with what I would prefer has really helped me on my journey that way, too.
  So purple, awesome tips. I really appreciate you taking the time to discuss your journey. Again, congratulations on your early retirement. If if the readers and the listeners want to find out a little bit more about you or get in touch, where can they find you online.
