Today’s guest comes someone who loves numbers even more than I do. As an actuary, the guy practically bathes in numbers. He also spends a lot of time contemplating heartwarming topics like life expectancy and the factors that alter it.
The Actuary on FIRE (clever name!) is not to be confused with actually on fire; but instead is an actuary with a family on the east coast and he’s revving up his game after a recent financially indolent interlude.
So, how does an actuary approach early retirement?
Death. When life has slipped through your fingers like so many grains of sand, and your own finite mortality is brought to an emphatic end and has been absorbed by the cosmic consciousness, then your path to financial independence will truly be over.
Ooooh, that was a downer, huh?
