In this episode I chat with Brandon from MadFientist.com about deprivation, happiness, meaning, and why it's never been easier in history to reach financial independence.

After following the FI path alone for over 2 years I discovered Brandon's blog in 2013, immediately reading all of his posts. His writing on tax, spending, and life optimization guided me on my own FI journey and I'm grateful to now call him a friend.

Brandon is one of the 10 people who reached financial independence before 35 featured in the book Financial Freedom: A Proven Path to All the Money You Will Ever Need.
