Finder Interviewed Me about the FIRE Movement!

I’m excited to share that I was just interviewed on Finder! If you’re not familiar, Finder.com runs the popular site that helps others make better life decisions. Whether it’s finding a new credit card, buying a home, or getting health insurance. I was actually surprised to see how many different areas Finder provides help with. They currently have over 50 categories with comparisons and guides. On top of it, all the information is free, which we all know is my …

Somehow I Got Asked Back on “What’s Up Next?”

2 Comments / Geoarbitrage, Panama, Podcasts and Other Appearances / By Jim @ Route To Retire / January 6, 2020 January 4, 2020

Somehow I was able to get invited back on the “What’s Up Next?” podcast… who’da thunk it?! You’d think after Doc G and Paul Thompson had me on their “What’s Up Next?” show the first time around, they would’ve learned their lesson. Not so much! To top it off, they invited my better half to be a part of it – maybe they were thinking that through the law of averages, Lisa could help bring me up a little more. …

Guest Appearance on the ChooseFI Podcast

4 Comments / Geoarbitrage, Life in Early Retirement, Podcasts and Other Appearances, Saving / By Jim @ Route To Retire / July 1, 2019 September 24, 2019

I’ve been wanting to be a part of the ChooseFI podcast shortly after it began. Jonathan and Brad launched the show at the end of 2016 and quickly took the FIRE community by storm! It’s a fantastic podcast helping to discuss the path to financial independence. They bring on various guests to examine different aspects and strategies of reaching FI. What’s really great though is that they also focus quite a bit on enjoying the journey along the way. I …

Guest Appearance on the What’s Up Next Podcast

4 Comments / Podcasts and Other Appearances / By Jim @ Route To Retire / April 29, 2019 April 29, 2019

The “What’s Up Next?” podcast is a little newer to the scene. In fact, the first episode just came out in November of 2018. However, I’ve known Doc G from DiverseFI for a while and we finally had that opportunity at FinCon in Dallas last year. It’s great to meet other bloggers in real life and Doc is no exception. He’s a great guy and we had some good conversation… and a few beers, of course! Anyway, a few months …

Guest Appearance on the Marriage, Kids and Money Podcast

Leave a Comment / Podcasts and Other Appearances / By Jim @ Route To Retire / April 16, 2019 April 16, 2019

I like Andy Hill from the Marriage, Kids and Money site a lot. He’s a genuinely nice guy and I love that he focuses on finances as a family. I would guess that the majority of the folks we hear from in the personal finance community don’t have kids. That doesn’t necessarily represent everyone tuning in, but the voices tend to be less. Enter Andy Hill. Not only does he focus on improving family finances, but he loves to show …

My First FIRE Presentation on Geoarbitrage

10 Comments / Financial Independence / Retire Early (FIRE), Geoarbitrage, Life in Early Retirement, Panama, Podcasts and Other Appearances / By Jim @ Route To Retire / February 3, 2019 September 24, 2019

Yup, you read that right… I did a FIRE presentation regarding geoarbitrage and our plans to move to Panama. Deanna (aka Ms. Fiology) asked me to do a talk for the ChooseFI local group in Northeast Ohio. I’m a reasonably outgoing guy, but public speaking is a whole different ball game. I had never done a presentation like this before, but I decided why not push my comfort level and give it a shot? So I agreed. Although my stipulation was …

Guest Appearance on the Everyday Money Show Podcast

Leave a Comment / Financial Independence / Retire Early (FIRE), Podcasts and Other Appearances / By Jim @ Route To Retire / January 1, 2019 September 24, 2019

Jason from the site The Wealth Hound also hosts the Everyday Money Show podcast. The first time I heard the show, I knew I wanted to be a guest. He’s a natural at talking to people and you’d think he’s been doing this for years. We had chatted a little bit over Twitter and email and we finally had the opportunity to meet at FinCon this past year. But believe it or not, we didn’t even have time to squeeze in a …

Guest Appearance on the FIRE Drill Podcast

2 Comments / Financial Independence / Retire Early (FIRE), Podcasts and Other Appearances / By Jim @ Route To Retire / July 23, 2018 September 24, 2019

My year of opening up to podcast appearances continues to roll on! Recently, I sat down with Gwen and J on the FIRE Drill podcast and we had a blast! I met Gwen from Fiery Millennials at FinCon last year shortly after she had hit me up about some questions she had on Panama. She had an overnight stay there on her way to the Chautauqua in Ecuador. I hadn’t had the opportunity to talk to J previously, but knew her …

Guest Appearance on the Countdown to FI Podcast

Man, I’ve been on a roll with these podcasts! My latest appearance was on the Countdown to FI podcast and it was truly a lot of fun! Mr. and Mrs. CTF are some great peeps to talk to and talk we did! We stuffed a lot into this show with a lot of discussion that hasn’t been brought up in previous podcasts. Some of the conversation revolved around our countdown to early retirement and what our plans are. We discussed …

Guest Appearance on the Chain of Wealth Podcast

Leave a Comment / Financial Independence / Retire Early (FIRE), Podcasts and Other Appearances / By Jim @ Route To Retire / May 9, 2018 September 24, 2019

I had an opportunity to appear on the Chain of Wealth podcast recently and it’s now live! If you’re not familiar with Chain of Wealth, they started the site in 2017. Who’s “they” you ask? Denis and Katie, of course! They created the blog to walk through the story of Katie paying off her debt. Their podcasts focus on interviewing folks that can help inspire others. I was excited to be a part of their show! In this podcast, of …
