Today Araminta had the honour of interviewing Steve from Dead Simple Saving, a Brit who’s worked all the way in Dubai and has now reached Financial Independence. Steve is an Englishman who has worked for 10 years in Dubai advising banks and working with sovereign wealth funds. He then started a sports science company, managed to outsource a lot of it and therefore now considers himself completely Financially Independent (he does not like the word retired!). The coolest part: He designs his life how he wants. Listen now and check the shownotes below!

A very frugal couple currently living in Vienna. Angelo is Austrian and was working in IT until 2 years ago, when he started his own business. In 2015 he started his own Youtube channel: **Minimalist Keto. He quit his job and is now travelling and working online. Sofia is from Hungary and is currently a student in Vienna finishing her master’s program. She also has a Youtube channel cover at ** Minimalist Ways, where she does animations for cool books (for those who don’t want to read them all). They both recently started a merch business, and are focused on living life to its fullest: travelling, eating well, being with family. Inspiring.

After being given the option to change locations of his job as a software engineer, Mr RIP chose to go from Italy to Switzerland. He is married and recently had a daughter, and as he likes to put it, a cheap-ass. Living in Switzerland is expensive: buying food, getting medical care, buying a house - everything is expensive. And yet Mr RIP still manages to keep his living costs low. Thanks to this, he is on a way faster path to FI and is hoping to retire early. We were intrigued, which is why we interviewed him.

In this episode we discuss different travel perspectives from 3 different people, some cool travel hacks and preparing for unexpected expenses. We compare digital nomad, business and a mixed style of traveling.
