Show Notes

Doug chats with friends Chris & JT from a partially-disclosed location in Breckenridge about a potpourri of topics.  The trio discusses happiness, dives into the controversial & confusing topic of tipping (with input from listener Kris), and provides their thoughts on high net-worth individuals (based on a correction pointed out by listener Bill). The group also analyzes Amber’s ambition of reaching FI by age 40-45 (full details below).
