Ep. 8 with Retired Battalion Chief Tom Murphy

In episode eight of the Life After The Fire Podcast, Chris sits down with retired battalion chief Tom Murphy. Tom and Chris have known each other through the fire service for over thirty years when they were still volunteers. After reminiscing briefly on their past experience, Tom focuses on highlighting the importance of budgeting as a young firefighter.

 

Falling in line with many of the guest that Chris has featured on the podcast, Tom explains how many young firefighters and first responders can be enchanted with the benefits of the job that they do not consider the fact that they may need to make additional arrangements in order to secure a high quality of life after their career in the fire service. Tom details the budget he, along with his wife, implemented in order to be able to set extra money aside each month and prepare for their future. 

 

Tom wraps up the podcast by describing how his strategy has put him in a position where he is now able to enjoy retirement without the financial burden that may have been present had he not prepared.
