>Then why don't you save your money and go for FIRE?
Because UBI doesn't exist and you can't predict what life will throw your way. I've seen what can happen to people and without a safety net I continue working out of fear.
I need between 15-20kCAD/y to survive, but you never know when that won't be enough anymore.
At this point I honestly just hope I can leave enough money to make other's lives easier when I'm gone in a few years. A nice parting gift if you will.
- olddustytrail 3y agoSo the reason you don't go for FIRE is because things might go badly and you'd be left in a situation where you had to find a job, with nothing but the big huge chunk of money you'd saved to see you through? As opposed to?
- ThrowAway1922A 3y agoTrying to make sense of the logic of an alcoholic is pointless, so I don't recommend it. I will never FIRE, because I'm afraid of the future. I also don't make nearly as much money as other people in this industry. I only managed to crack 100k CAD this year and I'm on the verge of being laid off for "economic reasons".
