Today I’m chatting with Tina from moneyflamingo.com which is an Aussie FIRE blog that focuses on a very cool concept called Flamingo FI. Tina shares her incredible journey of how she and her partner went from being broke and clueless in their early 30s to happy semi-retirees just 5 years later. I’m sure the concept and strategy of Flamingo FI will be very interesting, applicable and relatable to a lot of people out there listening.

Some of the topics in today’s episode include:

➡Where the name Money Flamingo came from. What is Flamingo FI and when did Tina come up with this concept?
➡The shock of starting her first job and the reality of a lifetime of working full-time as a lifestyle. When Tina realised that she no longer had control of her time she went searching for an alternative to the standard path.
➡When did Tina first discover the concept of financial independence and FIRE? How she almost gave up before she began and did nothing about it for 3 years.
➡What really matters on the path to financial independence? Is money really the most important part?
➡Tina’s personal story - how Tina and her partner went from broke to semi-retired in just 5 years.
➡The reality of semi-retirement and living a balanced life.
➡What is the difference between Flamingo FI & Coast FIRE?

Today I’m joined by Owen Raszkiewicz from the Australian Finance Podcast and the Australian Investors Podcast. 

Owen is the founder of Rask which is a financial and investment education company based in Melbourne. Prior to founding Rask, Owen was an investment analyst at the managed funds research business Zenith Investment Partners and a Writer/Analyst for The Motley Fool Australia. We touch on a lot of interesting topics in this pod but one area that I was really keen to pick his brain on is active investing. Owen has a breadth of knowledge in this area that far exceeds my own and I think it’s good to hear another point of view from an expert.

Some of the topics in today’s episode include:

➡Owen shares his personal story of growing up and his relationship with money.
➡The light bulb moment when Owen understood a common pathway to financial success.
➡Owen’s investing philosophy, principles and personal financial goals.
➡What is value investing and how does it work?
➡Can an active investor actually beat the market over a long time period following a set of principles and guidelines?
➡Do private investors really have an advantage over fund managers?
➡What is Rask all about and what does Owen hope to achieve through the company?
