Hard & Soft Sides of Retirement | Fritz Gilbert | 019 Catching Up to FI

Fritz Gilbert is the author of the popular blog The Retirement Manifesto with over 13,000 subscribers.  He takes us on his journey to retirement in his fifties and discusses the hard (monetary) and soft (non-monetary) sides of retirement.  He emphasizes the importance of both and that the numbers are the easy part making up only really 20% of the journey to time freedom.  We discuss the "what are you going to do with your freedom" when you get there and when you should start that transition.  This is a long one, but you are gonna want to hear it all.
