Show Notes

Doug and Carl chat with Air Force veteran & physician B.J., who shares his journey toward Financial Independence and life beyond material success.  B.J. discusses how military benefits like pensions & healthcare can pave the way to financial success, the personal growth he experienced after achieving FI, and the pursuit of deeper happiness beyond owning dream items such as a Lamborghini.  Post-military retirement, B.J. emphasizes the importance of giving back to the community and explores his decision to continue working, motivated by a desire to serve others.
