Humans are weird whenever it comes to money. We drive five miles out of the way to save a few cents on gas. We buy things we don’t need because they’re on sale.

Work Optionality: A Different Way to Imagine at FIRE | E143 Rachael Camp 48:02

26d ago48:02

48:02

Work optionality is the idea that you work because you want to, not because you have to. As you’re listening to this in your 20s, this concept might seem like a pipe dream. That’s truly fair.

Let’s not sugarcoat it, the path to financial independence is a grind. Even with an aggressive savings rate and an extended bull market run, you’re going to be at it for a while.

I’ve noticed that New Year’s resolutions have been taking some heat lately.
