Today we talk to Jason Lee, a young retiree who is living his best retired life. Jason is one of the FIRE movement retirees and has found his purpose in his retirement. Climb a mountain? No problem for this guy! He has made mountaineering his retirement signature and is crushing it. We all know that health (mental and physical) is a major part of retirement and Jason tells us how he is using his health and wellness to set goals that keep him moving! Great job Jason and thank you for your service!
