Aussie Firebug

Today, my guest is fellow FIRE enthusiast/podcaster/blogger, Captain FI!He’s actually been on the podcast before but I had to take that episode down due to ASIC’s 2022 guidelines.Cap came and stayed at the Firebug household after attending the Rask event in my hometown. It was a lot of fun meeting and greeting others from the FIRE community and it was extra special to do so in my own backyard.This was very much an improv podcast and I didn’t have any set questions.We had a general chitchat about Captian Fi’s financial journey and other topics relating to FIRE.Some of the topics we cover in today’s episode are:Who is Captain FI?
