My guest today is Brandon Ganch who is better known in the FIRE community as the Mad Fientist. Brandon is an ex-computer programmer turned blogger and podcaster who reached financial independence at the ripe old age of 34 with his wife Jill. It’s always a pleasure to speak with Brandon as one of my financial/investing heroes and someone who’s been on the scene since the early days when I first discovered the concept of FIRE.

Some of the topics we cover in today’s episode are:

  • The life changing event of becoming a parent and how FI has helped (00:07:10)
  • Did Brandon really crack the Billboard Top 40 list with his debut album? (00:16:15)
  • How to raise a money conscious kid (00:20:13)
  • What’s life been like since Brandon quit his day job as a programmer? (00:30:03)
  • Difficulties switching from portfolio accumulation to consumption (00:36:50)
  • How the utility of money changes as you get older (00:40:22)
