My goal is a simple one: to just enjoy the life I have. I don't care about leaving behind a legacy, bettering the world, or becoming mind-bogglingly rich. But I do care that I never wake up in the morning and think "why am I doing this?"
More concretely I'm working towards FIRE and would like to get a dog. After that, who knows? I'll decide when I get there.
- golergka 5y agoThis was my conclusion as well. "Enjoying your life" may seem self-indulgent to some at first. But then you realise that a normal human being has morality, desire to help others and build something built-in, and in order to enjoy life to the fullest you have no choice but to do those things as well.

- Sohcahtoa82 5y agoI've always thought that the idea of wanting to leave behind a legacy was narcissistic. 99.99% of people are unremarkable and will be completely forgotten by everyone within 2 generations of their death. Acknowledge and accept it. > More concretely I'm working towards FIRE Same. Retire early, live the remainder of my life in leisure. Work on completing the massive backlog of games on Steam I've wanted to play but just don't have the time.
