Show Notes

Doug chats with JL Collins and Jillian Johnsrud about the concept of mini-retirements and how they fit into the journey of Financial Independence.  JL shares experiences of taking multiple mini-retirements throughout his career, the benefits of these breaks, and the importance of not letting money become your master.  He also touches on the updated edition of “The Simple Path to Wealth” and offers advice on investing, maintaining motivation, and the evolving nature of career paths.  Jillian introduces her upcoming book “Retire Often”, which provides a framework for integrating mini-retirements into one’s life and how these breaks can contribute to long-term wealth building and life satisfaction.
