About this episode
Nicole and Tylor are the awesome writers behind the Not Your Ordinary Plan blog, they are travel and FIRE movement enthusiasts which is what their blog is all about. They have been on their FI journey for a number of years paying off student loan debt initially then building up their nest egg whilst hitting a number of FI milestones on the way. They recently decided to take advantage of the flexibility that FI gives them and have embarked on a long term mini-retirement (or what their calling their retirement ‘test-drive’) by slow travelling around the world - currently around Asia - and have been dong so for over a year so far.Things you’ll learn:Where they are in the world on their current retirement test driveHow they both metHow they work as a team on the FI pathHow they paid of 90k of student loans in 2 yearsTheir 8 year Financial Independence journey to dateHow their love for travel startedHitting Coast FI and taking 3 month sabbaticalAchieving Lean FIREThe car accident that changed their livesTheir FI number target and how far along they areSaving and investing strategyAnnual expenses and salaries during investment periodGetting there Masters DegreesTheir why of FITravel expensesWhy they decided to go on retirement test-driveWhat they have done so far on retirement test-drive and plan afterAbout their Not Your Ordinary Plan blogQuick-fire round questions at the end:Something they wished they done 10 years agoTheir daily habits that helped them in lifeTheir most important lesson in lifeTheir book recommendations1-2 small things listeners can do this week to get started Nicole & Tylor (Links):Blog: https://notyourordinaryplan.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notyourordinaryplan_/ Freedom Before FI Links:Free Guides: Download the free ‘Freedom Ideas’ Cheat Sheet and the free ‘Find Your Purpose’ worksheet at: https://freedombeforefi.com/free-guides/Website: Check out our resources and services at www.freedombeforefi.comEmail: If you want to connect, send me a note at greg@freedombeforefi.comInstagram: or send a DM at Instagram Link Linktree (all links):
