Diania Merriam, the founder of The EconoMe Conference, joins the podcast to discuss what is Financial Independence and Retiring Early (FIRE) and the upcoming 2021 EconoMe Conference in November. EconoMeCon is an event centered around financial independence and is known as the "Ted Talks" of the FIRE movement. Diania also hosts the popular podcast, Optimal Finance Daily, where she narrates articles from the best personal finance blogs on the planet. After getting out of $30k of debt in 11 months, she used her newfound financial freedom to negotiate a remote working arrangement with her employer, take a 2-month sabbatical to walk 500 miles across northern Spain on the Camino de Santiago, buy a house, and launch her own business. Diania saves 60% of her income and is on track to be financially independent by the time she’s 40 years old.

- What is Financial Independence and Retiring Early (FIRE)
