Shownotes Transcript

Joining me on today’s episode of the Financial Independence Podcast are FIRECracker (Kristy) and Wanderer (Bryce) from Millennial Revolution!

Kristy and Bryce exploded onto the scene after a video clip of them attacking the religion of homeownership went viral (it is now the most-viewed and most-shared video on CBC.ca, Canada’s largest news website).

During our interview, we dive into the viral video, explore why they believe buying a home is usually a terrible idea, and find out what they’ve been up to after retiring in their early 30s!

Highlights:

  • Buying a house vs. retiring early
  • Delusional homeowner math and how to avoid it
  • Why you should rent everything
  • The benefits of using a financial advisor
  • How reaching financial independence is different in Canada
  • Why you should follow your dreams on the side
