As old people stay healthier, there will be an increasing market of old-people-for-old-people services. Social media & the instant global marketplace have made a lot of new part-time-careers possible. There's doom and gloom around the end of human labor and the advent of AI/Automation/AGI (call it what you will). But, people's taste ossifies in early-adulthood. Our generation, once old, is going to crave experiences from a pre-AI world, and the only ones with the ability to deliver on it will be fellow millennials. In my experience, a lot of the FIRE folks are driven by paranoia and a *lack of fulfillment in their present life.* ____________________ I've been fortunate enough to have hit my limits of hedonism. A 5 star hotel relaxes me just as well as a shack. An honest meal is fulfilling irrespective of the Michelin stars to its name. My people welcome me whether I bring chocolate or not; and our conversations are just as warm over lemonade as it may be over fancy whisky. The hedonistic treadmill is infinite. It's cliche, but all good wisdom sounds like cliche. If you stop looking, you'll find yourself knee deep like low-tide on a beach. A pursuit, your people, health, a roof and a warm meal. FIRE gives you time, money and access to those 5 things that matter. But, in the absence of them, no amount of $$ FIRE $$ is going to make you happy. The first world has solved most of its issues. However, we tie happiness to owning more material belongings than our peers. In that case, FIRE will not be promised release It will merely be a moving goal post on the horizon, that keeps you going through an unfulfilling present.
