Quotes to ponder:
"By adopting FIOR, you’ll be able to enjoy life along the way by not having to be extreme in all areas."
"The more money you stash away for your future, the more secure you’re going to feel and the more fun your day job will likely become because, wait for it, you won’t need it."
"FIOR gives you options. When you’re on the path to FIOR and you reach FI, you have the option to quit your job, change jobs, stay on the job, or anything else you can dream up."
