Miss Findependent Nika Farb

Season 5 of the Miss Findependent Podcast starts off with me explaining my plan to live a ‘non-traditional life’ and become work optional by 40. I walk you through how to set long term financial goals, and give you a blueprint for how you can also plan to live off your investments, at whatever age you decide.

This season is going to be packed with content. New full episodes will still be released every Wednesday, and an AMA (ask me anything) mini-episode is launching every Monday as well. 
In this episode I dive into the FI/RE movement. Heard of it?

It’s a movement of young people focused on becoming financially independent and retiring early. Some people plan to do this by 30, with Lean FIRE… but I’m not trying to live off microwaveable ramen for the next 5 years in order to cut expenses. I explain the different types of FIRE and how increasing your income and building strong investing goals can help you become work optional sooner. 

Here’s more of what I get into: 
2:05 - How to stop procrastinating
5:00 - When I discovered FI/RE
10:37 - The FI/RE Movement
25:51 - How to calculate your FI/RE number
29:36 - BRRRR Strategy

In this episode, I sit down with lawyer and educator Jessica Wu to discuss prenuptial agreements (prenups). We explore common misconceptions about prenups and their purpose, as well as their potential benefits and drawbacks.
Jessica provides insight into the legal considerations of drafting a prenup, including the importance of transparency and communication between partners. We also discuss how prenups can be used as a tool for financial planning and protection in the event of divorce. Whether you're considering a prenup or simply curious about their role in modern relationships, this conversation offers valuable insights from an experienced legal professional.More about Jessica Wu: Jessica is a lecturer at the Lincoln Alexander School of Law at Ryerson University in Toronto. She teaches foundational Canadian law, family law, business and contract law to future lawyers, paralegals, and law clerks, and she’s taught at a plethora of institutions. 

She’s also an experienced barrister, and seasoned solicitor. She’s worked with the Department of Justice Canada, the Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund, and the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. She has litigated and matters before the Superior Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice Unified Family Court, and the Ontario Court of Justice. She has also presented at the Ontario Court of Appeal.

I hope you enjoy this conversation where we get into the details of what a marriage contract or what’s commonly known as a prenuptial agreement or a prenup, is, and why you might want to consider entering one.

The purpose is to highlight how far we've come as a society, and how much we've moved the needle over centuries... but there's still much work to be done. 
After all, it wasn't until the mid 1950's that single women in Canada were able to open bank accounts, and we stopped viewing women as dependants of their husbands or fathers.
