Description
This week we're diving deep into the heart of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement and asking whether it's really a movement...or just a quirky personal finance trend. We explore the intersections of history, finance, work culture, technology, and societal change and discuss what defines a movement, how FIRE has benefited from several larger societal shifts, and how even the tiniest seeds of change, like feelings of embarrassment, fatigue, or frustration, can spark lasting change.Show notes, articles, research or data mentioned in the episode:Wall Street Journal: Black Investors Are the Biggest New Group of Stock BuyersMorningstar: It's Official: Passive Funds Overtake Active FundsCBS News: Toxic workplaces can harm your physical and mental health, surgeon general says: Claudia Goldin win Nobel economics prize for work on gender gap: Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.
