Show Notes

Doug and Carl talk to Frances and Peter about their finances. Topics include Coast FI, real estate investing, emergency funds, and civet coffee (google it, we dare you!). Recommendations:
  1. $125,000 in investments is a great start, but suggest getting that number bigger before coasting.
  2. Since their income is good, consider a solo 410(k) to reduce taxable income.
  3. Settle your house situation to get the money off the sidelines.
  4. $40,000 is a lot to have in cash. Consider deploying some of that into investment accounts.
  5. Don’t sacrifice happiness now. Live life, even if it takes a little longer to retire.
