Our guest in this episode is Dr. Karsten. He\'s the mind behind the Early Retirement Now blog. He completed a PhD in economics, worked for the Federal Reserve for a while and taught economics. He joined the research department of an investment manager and got a CFA designation. He spent 10 years there before punching out to live the FIRE lifestyle a few years ago. He spent the first few months out on a world tour, visiting 20 plus countries, then settled down in the Northwest with his family. Early Retirement Now is a popular FI blog primarily because of Karsten\'s rigorous academic approach. We explore health insurance and withdrawal rates and strategies for early retirees and get his take on some controversial areas of finance like options and leverage. Interested in retiring early?
