Episode notes

I feel like your finger is just on the pulse of what's happening so often that any course correction you'd have to make would be so minor as to be not noticeable. And I don't want to scare anybody with the thought that, well, it's got to be so tightly controlled because we didn't take a lean fire approach. So my concern lies in this idea and maybe a lot of people can relate to this who are hyper saving right now. It's easy to play the game of saving. It's much more difficult to playing the game of spending for me personally.

Retiring early is a dream for many but the decision to leave the workplace early can impact us in ways we may not have predicted. In this episode, we discuss the first year of Jason's early retirement and Eric shares his own concerns as he approaches FI. For many, work provides a sense of purpose and identity, as well as validation, utility, not to mention financial security. What happens when that no longer exists? What takes its place? How does it impact your personal relationships and your personal sense of accomplishment? Much of the discussion about financial independence, retire early (FIRE) focuses on saving and investing, in this conversation we unpack what it means to leave work behind and fully embrace this life-changing transition. Join us for this conversation about life after FI.
