“When you're parenting with FIRE, you're actually able to be present for so much more of your child's life, and develop a closer relationship than you would have been able to otherwise. That was an unexpected gift of FIRE. . . you can be present for all the major milestones.” On this special episode of 2 Dads 1 Car, we speak with Bryce Leung, who together with his wife Kristy runs Millennial Revolution, one of my favourite financial blogs. They are also the authors of the popular book, Quit Like a Millionaire, and proud parents to a young son.In our conversation, Bryce dives into him and his wife's journey with the FIRE (“Financial Independence, Retire Early”) movement, and how living frugally and spending money thoughtfully has allowed his family to live with mobility and freedom over the years. On the topic of parenting, Bryce discusses the power of freedom and choice afforded by living the FIRE life, and how him and his wife's FIRE approach to parenting have allowed them to dedicate meaningful time, effort, and energy to their young family. Finally, Bryce shares his insight on how to invest in today's market, and how his freedom-first approach to investing has allowed his family to live how they want even during times of economic volatility. Thanks so much to Bryce for taking the time to speak with us! Please follow us on Instagram @2dads1car for our latest updates, and our website on 2dads1car.com. I hope you love this episode!
