Episode notes

There are two types of financial independence movement: lean fire and fat fire. Lean fire focuses so much on money in the way that, like, let me adjust my entire life such that i can retire early. Seems like you're sacrificing so much in order to have this freedom. I hope my comments homeless people wasn't insensitive. And homelessness was just an example. But even you could use examples of people in other countries who are perhaps just as happy, or happier, than people who have a lot of wealth.

Whether we'd like to admit it or not, finances have such a significant impact in our lives, both in micro and macro decision making. We also can't ignore how people have different relationships with their wealth, even at the same level of income.

In this episode, Calvin and Steph talk through the concept of being "post-economic", how they think about their "f*** you money" number, and how they manage their relationship with money.
