Fantastic Nick, these are great suggestions.

Some ideas:
-Any experience with other tools besides excel? For planning or tracking
-Automated (robo) investing vs Vanguard. Also the moral basis for avoiding certain companies or types of funds
-Why 401k if ‘retire’ comes before 65? I thought is was discouraged to take money out early
-Other strategies about maximizing time-off or travel ‘hacks’.
-How to balance job that pays but is no fun, how long to keep a certain job
-Interviews with anyone
-Interviews about remote jobs that aren’t tech. There must be some.
-I second the partner coordination for FI mentioned above
-I haven’t gotten into podcasts, but maybe
-The travel and ‘how’s it going’ posts are good. Impressions of places and what sucks about the routine/irregular schedule

I appreciate this Sharon. Apparently the post-FI life material is in high demand!

I mostly want post-FI content articles. I’m always looking at how others do the FI part, and most of the content is before retirement, since many people seem to back off their blogs once they retire. I’ve really enjoyed following your journey. You have a nice outdoors focused approach that helps me look at different possibilities.

Interesting, and thanks! People still seem to be more old fashioned than I thought, still preferring to read. But this is a good endorsement for a podcast.

Thanks for this Kevin, and I’m glad to see there are some others out there doing this thing!

Interested in life after FI and contentment. We have a lot in common! Currently living in a van with my wife in Joe’s Valley, and considering places to live after van life

1. It’s a long road, how do you remain committed for the long haul/overcome hurdles/maintain motivation along the way.
2. The holidays–how do you make the decision on what to spend?
3. How do you overcome discrepancies on what’s best for FI within a marriage?
4. How do you motivate your partner to get on board?

I’ll send more if I think of any.
