Doug chats with Monica Levi, a former lawyer who retired early at the age of 40. She shares her journey to FI, including her immigration to the US at 17, a battle with cancer, the transition from law to becoming a self-discipline coach, and her passion for travel. Monica also delves into how she manages her time, expenses, and the challenges of having a working partner while being retired.
