Listen "Retired Early and I Hated It: How NOT to FIRE, Part 2 (Post-FI/RE)"
Episode Synopsis
Imagine hitting your FI number, retiring early, and discovering you hate it? In this episode we discuss four examples of such an outcome: from quitting the perfect job and regretting it, to feelings of depression and lack of purpose. Some are unable to find motivation without financial incentives, while others realize they haven't budgeted enough to do things they enjoy in life.
