Uh . Thanks . I ' ve just been . Busy . rubs his cheek somewhat bewildered <| sep |> It fizzles out pretty fast sadly . They aren ' t really going for it until the mid season finales and the finales . The other episodes are just for kids it feels like . Christ . Here we go again . <| sep |> I ' m going to differ here and say that I really like my job even though I ' m working on Thanksgiving ! Admittedly I ' ve only been in the work force for 6 years , so that may change . Reading about other people ' s jobs has made me appreciate mine way more ! It may not pay as much , but at least I enjoy going to work most days . M primary reason for FI is that I ' ve always craved financial security and being FI is the ultimate in security . Not having to worry about being laid off or being injured , and providing for myself and eventually for my family that sounds amazing . Not to mention the quality of life that comes with being able to work only when and where I want to . I ' d love to take 6 months off and backpack , or go part time when I have kids . So I guess my reasoning is a little different from most of the other posters here .
