Podcast appearances and mentions of anita dhake

Anita Dhake is a blogger at thepowerofthrift.com. She is also the author of a book, Operation Enough, about her approach to financial independence. Anita retired at the age of 33. She graduated with a law degree in 2009 from the University of Chicago. She had a starting salary of $160,000. Instead of using her law income to live an expensive lifestyle, she used it to achieve financial independence at a remarkably early age.She has a unique philosophy towards money that I think is best summed up by her quote: “The most valuable thing money can buy is freedom from worrying about money.”Links* The Power of Thrift: https://thepowerofthrift.com/* Operation Enough: https://www.amazon.com/Operation-Enough-Retire-Remarkably-Early-ebook/dp/B075RS2R4ZDisclaimerNothing on this podcast is investment advice.The information in this podcast is for information and discussion purposes only.

Being single provides optionality (i.e., “having the right but not the obligation to take action.”) Peter McGraw speaks to Anita Dhake (aka the Thriftygal) to examine how money can buy you freedom. Anita retired early and presents ways to lower your expenses in order to gain financial freedom. They talk "F-you” money, her admiration of Judge Judy, the questions she asks before making a material purchase, and their mutual love of salads for breakfast. Love the show?

#40: Early retirement may seem glamorous when you’re dreaming about it….Sleeping in every day. Going jogging mid-day. Picnicking on a random Tuesday. Flying off to vacation on a moment’s notice. Wandering abroad for months at a time.But once early retirement is actually your life, it’ll feel different. You have to be intentional about it to make sure it lives up to your expectations.This week, I invited Anita Dhake – a lawyer turned early retiree who’s retirement plan has shifted over time – to share her story about retiring from the law at 33 to travel the world, what she’s learned along the way, and why she no longer travels full-time.We discuss:Why she walked away from a high-powered law firm career after graduating from an elite law schoolWhat motivated her to retire early, and how she came up with her FIRE numberHow she tackled student debt at the same timeHow much she had in the bank on the day she FIRE’d…and how much she has nowHow retiring early actually made health insurance easierHow many countries she’s traveled to since retiring, and why long-term travel is so difficult compared to vacation travelWhy she ultimately stopped long-term traveling and what she’s doing now insteadDid anything in Anita’s story surprise you? Do you agree with her view on long-term travel? Would you do anything differently?

Here are the cliff notes: 1) Went to law school because she was good a solving puzzles 2) decided very early that she could be "thrifty" and save enough money to 3) pay off her student loans 4) and then "retire"(!) in her 30's. Now she blogs, travels, meditates, MOVES!, and may have a part time job writing for some money.

Think you've gotta be rich to retire early? Then you haven't heard Anita Dhake's story about how she was able to retire at 33. Long description: Just to warn you, this podcast interview with Anita Dhake may make you want to hoard all of your money and live as frugally as possible so you can retire early too. From the sounds of it, early retirement does not disappoint. Who wouldn't want to live the life they want right now, instead of waiting until 65 or later?  As I mentioned in this episode, I stumbled upon Anita and her amazing story by just doing some research online. And I'm so glad I did find her! Not only is her story super inspiring, how she explains it, it's not that far-fetched. Yes, it helped that she worked as a lawyer and thus made a good salary. But still, early retirement isn't just something rich people can afford to do. If you take some of her bits of advice, maybe check out the book she's read twice, and just have a plan and take action, you might be able to retire way earlier than you thought. 4% Rule Explained According to Investopedia: The four percent rule is a rule of thumb used to determine the amount of funds to withdraw from a retirement account each year. This rule seeks to provide a steady stream of funds to the retiree, while also keeping an account balance that allows funds to be withdrawn for a number of years. The 4% rate is considered a "safe" rate, with the withdrawals consisting primarily of interest and dividends.   Anita's Book & Blog Recommendations Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robin Mr. Money Mustache Get Rick Slowly Anita's Tips to Retire Early Realize what you want with your life. The life you want will determine the amount of money you need to retire early. The less money you need, the sooner you can do it. The sooner you feel rich, the sooner you can live the life you want to live. Limit your vices, and pick and choose to spend money on things that give you joy.
