http://www.madfientist.com - In this session of The Mad Fientist Financial Independence Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jim Collins from http://jlcollinsnh.wordpress.com.

Jim accumulated enough money to retire over 20 years ago but rather than pack it in and call it quits, he instead used his "F-You" money to work on his terms.

If you are interested in investing, this is the podcast episode for you. Jim has been investing since the 1970s and in the interview, he shares some of his biggest mistakes, stories from his time working at an investment company, and his recommendations for successful investing.

Jim shows that reaching financial independence early in life is not as difficult as it seems and he describes the tools and techniques he used to get there.

Highlights

- The Importance of F-You Money
- Surviving Black Monday
- Don't "Swing for the Fences"
- Active vs. Passive Investing
- Why Vanguard?
- Three Simple Steps to Financial Independence
