Playing with Fire with Scott Rieckens | MHFi 038

Doug and Carl talk with Scott Rieckens, the creator behind the popular Playing with Fire Documentary. A few highlights from our discussion:

•  How Scott found FI and how he got his wife on board
• Identifying the top ten things that make you happy (and the ten that make you miserable)
• Even Happier by Tal-Ben Shahar
• How FIRE lets you focus on the good things in life (and why you don’t actually need to be financially independent to do that)
• Scott’s experiences with negative attitudes towards FIRE
• Scott’s perfect day
• Scott’s new project: the online school Hello Compound, where Scott and his partner, Rob, help others to get their financial lives in order.
