Today, I answer this question from a listener: Joshua- Fan of the show and a Naval Officer. I have some questions on overall investing strategy. I have close to 17 years in the Navy and will likely retire at 20 with a full pension (about $55k/year before taxes), currently have $440k in retirement savings for my wife and I split between Roths and TSP, have over $140k in college savings for my 2 kids (8 and 10 year old, plan on also transferring my GI Bill which will essentially pay for one of their college educations), and have about $30k in taxable accounts. We are selling our house in Norfolk, VA this year-- been a rental for 5 years but we are moving from Tampa to Jacksonville where I will take Command of a Destroyer there.

Different people learn in different ways. For that reason, we need many new approaches to helping people learn about financial independence. I'm glad to bring my new friends Jonathan and Brad on the show to talk about their project ChooseFI.com. Operating under the banner "Experiments in Financial Independence," they're seeking to create a new approach to learning and teaching about financial independence. Joshua

![]() Today, I bring you an interview with the #1 most requested guest! Mr. Money Mustache himself. I connected with him while up in Gainesville for Camp Mustache a couple of weeks ago. This interview isn't about the nuts and bolts of Mustachian philosophy or on how to become financially independent in a few short years; those topics have been well covered elsewhere. This interview is about his current life, current projects, and things he's excited about at the moment. Enjoy! Joshua

![]() Every day I mention that little slogan, "financial freedom in 10 years or less" in my intro. It's an aggressive, spicy little slogan. But I probably don't do a good enough job of highlighting what that phrase actually means and how many different ways it can be achieved. Today I have a really fun profile of someone who has successfully achieved financial freedom in less than 10 years by capitalizing on AirBnB. And doing it with properties that she didn't even own!
