Working Only 4 Months of the Year Consulting w/ Scott on FIRE | Ep. 106

Scott joins us again to talk about his journey to creating more time freedom through part time consulting, where he works only part of the year. This frees him up to work on things that are meaningful to him, like more time with his partner, passion projects, travel and of course writing. Scott is based in Melbourne Australia, he left full time work and a six figure salary in 2023 to work part of the year and he runs the Scott on Fire blog where he writes about his FI philosophy and how to live a good life. Things you’ll learn:About his part time consulting workThe Melbourne local FIRE communityHis FIRE Goal: to make work optional by 40  His investment portfolio and his fun moneyThe 4 ETFs he’s investing inThe debt recycling strategy (in Australia)His investing journey from 2018His 50% savings rate for 7 years  How he was able to save 75% in one yearHis career journey from 2018: Studied accounting  His first job: data entry as payroll officerOn never getting promotions, just positive ‘side steps’How he got into consulting  Quitting full time work in 2023 The challenges of having freedom Quick-fire round questions at the end:Something he wished they done 10 years agoHis daily habits that helped him in lifeHis most important lesson in lifeHis book recommendations1-2 small things listeners can do this week to get started Scott on Fire Links:Website & Blog: https://scottonfire.com/ X: https://x.com/ScottOnFireFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottOnFireDotCom Substack: https://scottonfire.substack.com/ Freedom Before FI Links:Free Guides: Download the free ‘Freedom Ideas’ Cheat Sheet and the free ‘Find Your Purpose’ worksheet at: https://freedombeforefi.com/free-guides/Website: Check out our resources and services at www.freedombeforefi.comEmail: If you want to connect, send me a note at greg@freedombeforefi.comInstagram: or send a DM at Instagram Link Linktree (all links): https://linktr.ee/freedombeforefi Listen to FBF on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/freedom-before-fi-life-design-purpose-sabbaticals-coast/id1740083285Listen to FBF on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0XxPgEeuGayTqaEwUE19mk?si=cc8639ad8c28474eDisclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice
