#74: This week, I chat with Caroline Ceniza-Levine, a career coach now early retired, whose own spouse wasn’t on board with early retirement for many years before she finally convinced him to get on the FIRE train.

We talk about tips and advice for how to convince your spouse about early retirement – and all it entails...

We discuss:

• Caroline’s own path to FIRE – from music, to strategy consulting, to corporate, to coaching, to FIRE
• Her spouse’s main concerns when it came to early retirement
• How she got her spouse on board, what she would have done differently, and her advice for others who are struggling to convince their partner about early retirement
• Plus: how Caroline handles healthcare / insurance as an early (pre-Medicare) retiree, her passive rental real estate portfolio breakdown and how she manages her rentals remotely
