That would be very out of character for him <| sep |> i see a lot of bots , my question is how long does it take for bot to be banned ? <| sep |> I think you ' ve just realized FI is not the goal itself but a tool to reach your real goal . People often say FI allows you freedom to do what you ' d like , but doesn ' t really go into what that something is . I can understand that it ' s different for everyone , but I doubt everyone just want to do all the frugal stuff once they reach FI . There ' s nothing wrong with doing things that you ' d like to do in FI while you ' re getting there . Sure , if you lost your job , you ' d have to find a new job and adjust your lifestyle accordingly , but that ' s what good personal finance skills are for . I think this is something the community needs to hear more often . FI doesn ' t mean anything if it can only support minimal standard of living . To quote Lawrence from Office SpaceWell , you don ' t need a million dollars to do nothing , man . Take a look at my cousin he ' s broke , don ' t do shit .
