STOP! Is F.I.R.E (Financial Independence Retire Early) Safe? - Ep #43

Are you hoping to retire early? Before you make plans, STOP and review this FIRE safety information. Know how much you can safely take out without jeopardizing your future.

Today's story is a reflection on a question made popular by the book Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robin: "What would you do right now if you didn't have to work for money?" Jay answers this question for himself and prompts you to do the same.

The budget tip is to track your net worth annually. If your net worth continues to go up, you are on the right track. But if your net worth is going down too much too often, you may have a problem to sort out.

The listener question comes from the comment section. A viewer insisted that "No wife = happy life." Jay refutes this claim with an open and loving heart and some very compelling statistics.
