Summary

In this episode: events, community, travel rewards, medidations, mini retirements, travel wins, and travel points.

This week we are back with friend of the pod Ginger to discuss a mixed bag of topics, such as attending FI events, travel rewards and companion passes, as well as the idea of a “mini” retirements and what that can look like while on the path to FI. However, this episode isn't titled "The Ultimate Random Show" for nothing, as we branch off in quite a few different directions as we cover those topics. As opposed to having us try and describe it for you, it may be best to go ahead and hit play so you can see for yourself!

Hello and we're welcome to Choose A5. Today in the show we have we're calling the ultimate random show. So this is not to be too derivative of Tim Ferris, but I was actually talking with my co-host Ginger before we have record and I was saying you know this is going to be just a fun

conversation about I have these 10 random topics and she's like this is the ultimate random show that's the name of the

0:21.6

episode so all right we're going without for this and this should be fun. We've got a bunch of travel. We actually both got back from live five events recently. We're going to talk maybe a little frugality, some life hacks, some health, a whole bunch of things. So stay tuned. This is going to be a fun one.
