Should We All Retire Early?

May 17, 2023 • Lem • Season 1 • Episode 13

In today's episode, we'll get into a topic that seems to be of interest for everyone and that is to retire early. Should we all aim at retiring early? More than chasing a fixed number that would get us to early retirement, this question allows us to reconsider the place of work in our life and more specifically how we allocate our time.

The freedom that early retirement procures is actually more about having agency over your time than a mere rejection of work.

We'll get into:

- the FIRE movement
- its key principles including the 4% rule and the rule of 25, frugality and more
- 3 steps you can take on your journey to live your life with more intentionality and get to retire early if that's what you want
