Rebecca, 38 and married to her husband Joe, lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with their two-year-old son and a baby girl on the way. Both Rebecca and Joe retired early in their early 30s. Rebecca now runs a small nonprofit called Yield and Spread, which promotes finance as a force for good.\n\nIn this episode, Rebecca gets refreshingly honest about what life actually looks like after reaching financial independence (FI). She and Brian dig into how FI doesn't solve your problems, it just gives you options. The conversation shifts into an exploration of charitable giving, where Rebecca breaks down her philanthropy pledge framework and challenges Brian (and listeners) to move from reactive giving to proactive, impact-oriented generosity. Along the way, Brian shares a personal story about how his money upbringing made giving feel uncomfortable, and why he's ready to change that."}
