How are our PR peeps managing optics ;or getting ahead of bad PR) for large holiday gatherings, talent feeling pressured to join a group celebration? Financial aspect of large event vs. raises at standstill, low headcount budget? Sounds like there are it if executive heads in the sand, despite December fast approaching.

The only optics they care about are being able to say “our agency/holding co was the first one fully back on Jan 1” while getting on their knees before the next pitch opportunity

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.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
