It’s so true isn’t it? Because you’re no longer expending mental energy/time about a job and stresses of that job, your brain is able to really dig into some of the deeper thoughts in life that most people simply don’t have the brain space for.

This quote was particularly relevant to me: “FI has brought me back to a more conscious state of living.”

That’s exactly how I feel about what FI brought to my life. Before discovering the FIRE community, we were largely just going through the motions and following the same general path as our family and peers.

FIRE helped me see my entire life more clearly and I’ll be forever grateful for that! Thanks for sharing your story again here, AR. It was a fun read.
