I’ve written several posts and even a book on how to retire early, or the Financial Independence Retire Early movement (FIRE). In July 2023 I finally reached the position whereby I didn’t need to work again. However, the feeling didn’t last, and I was back at work withing 3 months, although I was working for myself. You see, I decided that I won’t retire.
Don’t stop working
In my Financial Independence journey, I started by wanting to get to a position, so that I didn’t have to work again. As time went on this changed so that Financial Independence, to me is the state where I only work on the things I want to. A subtle difference but the distinction is that now I say don’t stop working.
