In this episode of The Minimalists Podcast, Joshua & Ryan sit down with Chris Hogan, author of Retire Inspired, to discuss financial freedom, getting out of debt, and retirement planning, and they answer the following questions:

• How do I retire and still ensure I can leave a legacy?
• How do I take on mid-life responsibilities and obligations—marriage, children, mortgage—while still appropriately saving for retirement?
• Which is the better retirement investment between a 401K and a Roth IRA?
• How do I ignore the judgement of loved ones and fully pursue my passions?
• Is a house an asset or a liability?
• Is it possible to overdo Dave Ramsey’s baby steps related to investing and paying off a mortgage?
