The lean FIRE stuff really seems like schtick to me pretty quickly. Yeah, some of it is worth reading and thinking about, but a lot is pretty alien to my personal objectives. I'm not going to panic about going out to dinner or taking, what he would probably consider in print, a moderately comfortable vacation, if not an extravagant one.
- vundercind 2y agoI dove in for a week or so way back when, but once I read enough posts to realize the actual pitch was “retire early except for the three jobs you have, one of which is blogging about ‘being retired’, and plan to go back to a decent-paying job with benefits if anyone in your family gets seriously sick, LOL, hope you’re not too old when it happens and then have trouble getting any job with benefits” a lot of the magic was gone.
