In this week’s episode, we talk to the original friends on FIRE, Mike’s dad Jack and his long-time friend Mark. Jack O’Leary retired at 42 in 1992, and Mark Sullivan retired at 55. They met at work, learned they had similar values and goals and became fast friends. They then collaborated on their finances and personal goals for 35+ years. We can all learn so much from the generation ahead of us on this journey, and we learned from these Baby Boomers on FIRE! Jack and Mark talk about the importance of values, accountability partners, avoiding lifestyle inflation, traveling during early retirement, and of course their love of log paper. We so enjoyed our discussion with the OG friends on FIRE, aka Grandads on FIRE, aka Baby Boomers on FIRE, aka The Pros of Dover.
