Episode NotesChris shares his story of how he learned about financial independence after getting out of pharmacy school.  The Mad Fientist podcast was a game-changer for him, and he’s also been inspired by Mr. Money Mustache, JL Collins, and many more leaders in this space.  Chris talks about humble beginnings, and how we grew up with a frugality mindset. This has also given him an appreciation for how far he has come with his family.  Chris talks about lifestyle creep, getting his wife on board, and teaches us about barista FIRE and coast FIRE.  We really enjoyed our discussion with Chris from Inspire to FIRE.  Please listen to hear more about Chris’s story. Check out his blog in the show-notes.  ---Show ReferencesInspire to FIRE website + blogFollow Inspire to FIRE on Instagram and FacebookInspire to FIRE - How to use a roth conversion ladder for early retirementInspire to FIRE - What’s my FIRE numberInspire to FIRE - How to prioritize your investments for FIREMad Fientist---Follow friends on FIRETwitterInstagramFacebookLinkedInLeave us a voicemail or text us: 404-981-3370eMail us at:  friendsonfiremm@gmail.comVisit our website: www.friendsonfire.org---Other LinksMaggie’s Blog: Mostly Minimal LifeMike’s Book:  Your New Relationship with Money
