I was on a personal finance podcast

Just One Lap is probably the biggest personal finance site in South Africa. They have a weekly podcast called the fat wallet show, and had a celebration after their hundredth episode where they were going to do a live recording with an author.

She ended up running late, so they pulled me from the crowd to fill the time and ask me how I managed to reach FI in my thirties.

I don't have time to listen now, but congratulations on being picked out and being able to spread the concept.

Thanks Linda, it always amazes me how people think it's insane to live on half your salary, particularly in a country where middle class means you likely earn 10 times the average of the majority of the population.

That was great, and very interesting to see the theory works in South Africa as well. Thank you!
