Why is it important to be able to have real-life experiences outside of virtual reality? It is important to experience the world instead of just watching it from your screen. How has this affected your own personal life? Staying indoors can affect your mood significantly and taking the time to be more active can change your mood from negative to positive. How do you achieve wellness by making mistakes? Fear of failure can be crippling and because we do not want to make mistakes we end up not doing anything. If you become OK with making mistakes and realize that it is a part of life, you will lose the fear and will be able to do more with your life. Making mistakes is where you learn the most and if you don’t make mistakes, you will stay stagnant. We should not avoid pain, because it is what makes us grow. Accepting your mistakes and pain can be the only way to get passed it. If you push it away or ignore the feelings, it will remain and can become detrimental to your health and growth. -------- Hey Offbeat Family, I really your listening to this episode.

In this episode: How did you prepare to do early retirement? The first step is to understand exactly where your money is going. Then decide whether that money you are spending is genuinely making you happy or not and if that spending is supporting your future goals of early retirement. What are some of the roadblocks you have encountered preparing for early retirement? It was hard not to spending less and not doing the same activities with your friends and co-workers. Sensible living can be a sacrifice when you are trying to achieve your goals for early retirement. It is a hard transition in the beginning but you will get used to it but the more you do it, the easier the process becomes. How did you know how much money you needed to retire without the worry of running out of your savings? They used the Trinity study or the four percent rule to decide on a retirement budget. Where do you invest your money, so you can have access to it before you retire? You have to remember if all of your money is tied up to your retirement accounts, it will be really difficult for you to retire early. Steve and his wife opened up a brokerage account and it will grow with the stock market like your retirement account. The difference is you can buy or sell whenever you want and you are not restricted by age of when you can access the money. They also established an emergency fund. Think of it as paying yourself off first money management. When do you know you are finally ready to leave your job and retire? If your finances are fully prepared that the rest is 100% mental. Don’t fall into the “just one more year” syndrome - where you work for one more year and never leave. -------- Hey Offbeat Family, I really your listening to this episode.

Welcome to the 100th episode of The Offbeat Life podcast! It has been such an honor so share so many incredible stories with all of you. This podcast started because I wanted to learn from all the digital nomads and independent entrepreneurs. I wanted to learn how they were able to transition and create a location independence lifestyle. I wanted to learn how to create freedom in my own life. Here I am today, a year and a half later, living the life I only dreamed of having. There are two quotes that I want to share with you, that have really resonated with me on this whole journey. The first “ Remember when you wanted what you currently have”.  This quote reminds me of the progress I’ve made and to be grateful for every second that I have living this messy but beautiful life. The second is a quote by Tim Ferris “ People don’t want to be millionaires - they want to experience what they believe only millions can buy”. A brilliant quote because we often think that a lot of money can make us happy, but it is really the freedom that we want and if you can achieve that, then you will feel like a billionaire. So, listeners, I hope that you are able to live a life of freedom and life you truly deserve to live. Enjoy this 100th episode, as I bring back two of my fearless female friends Joni Sweet and Sierra Dehmler as we talk about life transitions and catch up on the last year of changes and gratefulness.
