<p>This week, we chat with Rob from Tribe FI Australia about his inspiring journey from employee to business owner, taking an 18-month break to travel, and the lessons learned along the way. He shares how pursuing Financial Independence (FI) isn’t just about the money—it’s about freedom, purpose, and connection.</p><br><p>We delve into Rob’s experience running a FIRE event with no prior expertise, emphasising the power of stepping outside your comfort zone. He also highlights the importance of building a supportive community, proving that FI is better achieved with friends by your side.</p><br><p>If you’re pursuing FI or have already reached it, Tribe FI Australia offers a space to share stories, find inspiration, and give back. Rob’s story is a reminder that financial independence isn’t just a goal; it’s a lifestyle built on freedom and community.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tashinvests/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tashinvests</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/anakresina/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@anakresina</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/getrichslowclub/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@getrichslowclub</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/pearlerhq/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pearlerhq</a></p><p><a href="https://pearler.com/getrichslowclub" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Get Rich Slow Club</a></p><p><a href="https://pearler.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pearler</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@getrichslowclub" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/How-Not-Work-Forever-Investing/dp/1394248865" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How To Not Work Forever</a></p><br><p><strong><em>Disclaimer</em></strong></p><p>Any advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.
