It's not mutually exclusive.

This is what "FI" part means. the financial independence.
- mfalcon 6y agoYes, it's not mutually exclusive, that's the point. If you enjoy your day to day life and you are able to accumulate enough to be FI amazing, but I don't think it's worth it to spend several years at dreadful places in order to be FI in the future. I understand financial independence as "having enough to retire without needing any more income", so the amount of money is not the same.
