Imagine this: your friends, family, and colleagues are all content with the “normal” path — steady job, bills, a few vacations, maybe retirement at 65.
Nobody talks about FI. Nobody values it. Nobody gets it.
Would you still stay the course?
Would the idea of freedom still drive you — or does it lose its pull without a community that shares the same goal?
I’m curious how much of our motivation comes from within… and how much is fueled by knowing others are on the same path.
