Recently there have been LOTS of headlines about FIRE. Good? Bad? Ugly? We invited David Bach down to the basement to ostensibly ask him about the 20th anniversary edition of his Smart Women Finish Rich book. While we cover that in detail, we also asked him about HIS thoughts on the FIRE movement….and let’s just say that he was more than happy to share.
In our headlines segment it’s time for tax loss harvesting and year end tax planning. What should you do? An Investment News piece details a few strategies and we’ll talk about our favorites (and maybe not-so-favorites) on today’s podcast.
Of course, that’s not all. We’ll throw out the Haven Life line to Carter, who wants a little help working on his retirement projections. How should he account for inflation 15 to 20 years down the road? Next, we’re answering a letter from Andy, who now works for the federal government. Should he rollover his other retirement accounts into the TSP?
And don’t worry… we’ll still take some time for Doug’s trivia.

Hi there,
I was wondering if you specifically had a podcast talking about…FIRE health insurance 101 options and what you do once you achieved FIRE.
An in depth discussion would be great navigating through option A, B, or C. Thanks so much for everything!!
