One of my favourite types of interviews is when I get to interview someone who has hit their financial independence or retirement number early, and then picking their brain on how they got there, what worked well for them, what didn't, what mistakes they could have avoided, and learning what makes them feel happy and fulfilled both before and after hitting financial independence.
Well this time, I got to do this with one of the most famous personal finance experts in Canada, David Chilton, who, as you may know, was also one of the dragons on Dragon's Den.
Dave's bestselling book, The Wealthy Barber, was actually the first personal finance book that I ever read. I read it decades ago in high school, and in a way, it actually started me down this path of early financial independence.
Dave has recently released a massive update to the book, so we cover what has changed in personal finance and investing in Canada over the years, and what Canadians need to know about now when it comes to personal finance and investing in Canada.
I'm incredibly grateful that Dave has chosen to spend so much of his time educating Canadians and trying to improve financial literacy here in Canada. You can definitely tell that he's not doing it for some massive financial gain, and is genuinely trying to help.
Let's get into the interview.
