I Hit Barista FI, But Now I Like My Job - Kim Ehardt | MHFI 202
Doug and Carl chat with Kim Ehardt, a firefighter from Austin, Texas, who unknowingly achieved Barista FI through careful savings and an unconventional career path. Despite her financial status and ability to leave her current profession, Kim articulates a desire to shift focus from financial security alone to personal fulfillment, purpose, and happiness. Kim’s future plans include life coaching to help others achieve their goals and potentially even starting her own podcast.
