Diania Merriam is the founder of The EconoMe Conference, a two-day event with roots in the FIRE movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early), the lifestyle movement that aims for financial freedom. The FIRE movement taught Diania how to save 60% of her income, and she’s now on track to be financially independent before she’s 40 years old. She’s passionate about personal finance and thrilled to be the new host of the Optimal Finance Daily podcast. Diania makes her second appearance on the show to discuss how she got inspired to explore the Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) space and why she wanted to put together the EconoMe Conference.
