Listen in for a bonus episode where host Meghan is interviewed on the Fire Inside Her podcast with Diane Schroeder!
Episode description:
Tune in to Episode 81 of The Fire Inside Her as host Diane Schroeder and guest Meghan Combs tackle the nuances of the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) movement. Meghan opens up about leaving her New York City job in art history for coding, navigating situational depression, and ultimately tripling her income. They discuss the importance of aligning expenses with personal values and how small financial decisions can lead to big changes. Meghanâs insights on balancing productivity with self-care and her love for travel bring a relatable touch to this financial journey. Perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed or considering a career shift, this episode offers both emotional support and practical steps to achieve financial freedom.
Meghan Combs, at 37, has navigated an intriguing journey to financial independence. At about 25, while residing in New York City, she pursued a master's degree in art history and museum studies. Eager to establish herself in the bustling metropolis, Meghan aspired to work in one of the prestigious museums. However, the fiercely competitive field posed significant challenges due to the high number of graduates and limited job opportunities. Despite the hurdles, her experiences have shaped a compelling narrative of perseverance and ambition.

Welcome to another episode of EverydayFI, the show that explores the lives and stories of people in the financial independence community. Today on the show Iâll be speaking with an anonymous guest, who will be known as âJâ, and the big topic of our conversation is divorce. We dive deep into Jâs money story and the parallels in how he rescued his mom financially and then his wife. We also talk about how a mismatched life vision between partners can upend even the most loving relationships. Youâll also find out what money conversations J thinks people should have when they start dating to avoid heartache in the future. We both agree that talking about hard things with your partner is the only way to foster a thriving relationship; otherwise itâs unfair to you and them to kick difficult topics under the rug. Thereâs a reason people say one of the best money decisions you can make is marrying the right person, so itâs safe to say the opposite is also true.

This was one of my favorite episodes to record to date because Devon is one of the most impressive people Iâve ever met. In his own words:
â[Devon is] a 22-year-old college student on the journey toward financial independence (FI). [He] discovered the liberating power of FI at 21 and saved $25,000 in [his] first year chasing FI. [Heâs] passionate about spreading the ethos of financial independence, increasing financial literacy, sharing [his] experiences, and inspiring others to chase their âFreedom by the Dayâ while enjoying their individual journeys.â
In this episode we chat about how his parents instilled in him a sense of independence and autonomy, his experience in the military and educating others about financial independence, his goal of reaching $150k saved by the time he graduates, and so much much. Tune in to hear his story.

Despite their love for their respective jobs, Sean and Katie are committed to creating a life of options for themselves and their daughter.
Episode Highlights:
Financial advisors will try to sell you anything by connecting with you on a personal level: donât fall for it! Privilege is a huge factor in financial success. Values-based spending is the key to a rich life. Everything new you buy is a little piece of the Earth and should not only spark joy, but sustain it. Travel vs. focusing on a homestead and how to balance these two passions as a couple. Dive into their retirement strategies including real estate, investing, and the coveted 457 account. Why Priuses are the superior vehicle. Using FI as a way to make the world a better place.Episode Links:
