#106 | Retiring at 30 with A Purple Life

In this week’s episode, we talk with A Purple Life, who recently retired at the age of 30 after spending a decade getting her cost of living low through a mix of frugal living, lifestyle decisions, and geoarbitrage. In her 20s, she realized she didn’t want a traditional career, wanted a different life, and created an intentional plan to retire by 35. She shares her journey with us, and we dig into her childhood, being a 3rd generation early retiree, how she keeps her expenses so low, what quitting her job looked like, and what she's learned since retiring in 2020. We learn all about napping, birdwatching, and the importance of being present and satisfying your curiosity again.
