Hey I love Christmas--in all its consumer glory (hey it keeps us all employed!) But don't you think the music is a little overplayed given there are only about 8 songs in the rotation? :-) It gets a little old after a month straight, no? 🙉🎼🎶

Always been a fan of FIRE and reading about it has definitely helped my finances but I can’t help but wonder if the movement is more about lifestyle change than early retirement.

After you achieve FI,you basically have to maintain the lifestyle that got you there.

What if you want to go on a lavish vacation or buy that flatscreen TV? Are you supposed to do away with material goods entirely? I suppose you could keep working for discretionary $ and live off interest but then you’re not retired.
