Podcast134: Achieving Financial Independence , With Michael Houghton

April 22, 2019

Welcome back!Many of us have heard of FIRE (Financial Independence - Retire Early) but not many of us have met many that are actually doing it! In this episode we chat with Michael to hear his story, how he is working on his own financial independence, and the vehicles he is using to maximise his own financial future.Michael stresses that his approach works for him, and that everyone should find their own way based on what they feel will work for them, so please don't replicate what he does without determining the risks and the suitability to you first.Michael's website is here, and we hope you enjoy the interview.Paddy.
