Fifth (and Final) Annual Update

Published: Aug. 20, 2021, 6:54 a.m.

If you\u2019ve followed me for a while, you\u2019ll know that I\u2019ve released an annual update every year since I quit my job.

It\u2019s now been five years since I stopped working so this is my fifth (and final) annual update.

Why is it my final one?

I explain in today\u2019s short episode.

Highlights

  • How the pandemic highlighted the power of having savings
  • Why FI is the ultimate shock absorber and cheat code
  • The reasons this annual update will be my last
  • What to do when money is no longer a source of motivation
  • Why \u201cLean FIRE\u201d may be a bad idea
  • Warren Buffet\u2019s plan for leaving money to his kids (and why it may change your FI target)
