Greg joins this week’s podcast, and we discuss our reflections and finances one year into early retirement. First, we share advice our campFI friends have given us along the way as we share how the first year of early retirement has been going. We then share what’s working well, what we’d like to improve, and the journey of feelings and experiences we’ve been through in our first year not working after each of us spent 20+ years working in Corporate America. We wrap up the episode by sharing what our family of 5 spent during our first 12 months early-retired and how our net worth looks a year later.
