If I could rely on the wondrous and fantastic powers of compound growth to build a bitchin’ snowball of money, I’d never need to work again.” (Submitted by Jim Wang.) […]

Such a feeling gives one the courage to take the risk. This include changing the jobs without any concerns.

This is one of the best articles I’ve ever read in the FIRE community because you read my mind essentially. I’ve been longing for early retirement for so long, but we don’t realize how much our jobs give us purpose in this world. The confirmation bias was a mind-blowing realization too. Keep up the great work Mr. CC!

I can’t disagree.

When I read about people retiring in their 30s with very thin assets and a 4% withdrawal rate, I can’t help but shake my head.

Thanks for these great examples, Phillip.

Your first example is the exact kind of rigid management policies we had to deal with. My wife in particular would have remained at her job part-time, but it was like pulling teeth to even get them to agree to 30 hours. She wanted 20 or less, which was ultimately a deal-breaker, 100% due to management policies at the corporate level.

Healthcare has some reckoning if that industry expects to attract and retain talent, especially considering the hellscape of working through Covid in the last year+. I agree, some of these jobs should–and probably do–rank high in terms of purpose and service, yet so much is asked of those who work in this industry. I’m not surprised that WCI and Physician on FIRE are so popular!
