Maybe this will become the norm? Less travel, more remote-work, more small community and less big global 🤷🏼‍♂️ Then instead of them being fascinated we quarantined, they will be fascinated we used to fly to other cities just for the day

I’m currently unmedicated and am somewhat hesitant to restart, but feel I could see some benefit and better stability with the help of medication.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected.

This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns.
