Doug chats with Karsten Jeske (aka Big ERN) about his journey to early retirement, living frugally yet enjoying luxuries like travel, and the balance between saving & spending effectively. Karsten provides his thoughts on the book “Die With Zero”, analyzing its advice on spending & saving in retirement, and highlighting potential issues within its financial recommendations. He also addresses the controversial topic of investing in small-cap value stocks and analyzes historical performance. And of course, Doug & Karsten chat about a delicacy called asparagus.
