This gets repeated fairly often and intuitively it makes sense. I'd love to hear a counterexample though - of a naturally lazy person that motivated themselves hard enough, for long enough, purely to make enough money to enable themselves to be stylishly lazy forever.

- marvin 7y agoMr. Money Mustache, an early Financial Independence blogger, quit working after having invested enough to mostly live off the expected 4% returns of his investment portfolio. Granted, I don't think there's any evidence at all that he is lazy, but he certainly doesn't project the image of a high-powered workaholic business executive. A few years after retiring, his personal finance blog has at times made an income in the mid-six figures, assuming he was telling the truth in a forum comment somewhere. I've read stories of early retirees saying that they've made more money than ever after retiring, because the independence freed them from the downside of risky business decisions.
