Thanks for your kind words, Ryan.

Indeed the key to happiness is finding the right balance before and after financial independence. Even if that means delaying your FI date for a few years or working “one more year” to secure a good night’s sleep in retirement.

I read a lot within the FI community and find a large number of individuals are waiting for that ‘moment’ and their current happiness takes a back seat. There doesn’t seem to be a life of balance (if that’s possible). It’s something I’ve been toying with throughout my life.

I admire your writing greatly as many seem to have forgotten about the actual reasoning for wanting to be Financially Independent and are too focused on the numbers.

Cracking post!
