Episode notes
In this episode, I share a more honest reason I invest: not just to retire early, but to create options.
Financial freedom isn’t about never working again—it’s about never having to do work that drains your soul just to pay rent. It’s the freedom to walk away from jobs that don’t align, to switch careers, to take a sabbatical, or to chase something that feels more like you.
I talk about:
- What “optionality” really means in day-to-day life
- Why you should still invest even if you love your job
- How money gave me the ability to move countries, take risks, and walk away from misaligned paths
- Why even small amounts matter—and how inflation and shaky pensions are real risks we need to face
Whether you’re all in on FIRE or just want to feel less stuck, this episode is a reminder ...
