Episode 3115: The Mad Fientist offers a raw, behind-the-scenes look at the emotional and psychological shifts he experienced after achieving early retirement. Rather than pure bliss, he discovered unexpected challenges in identity, motivation, and meaning, insights that can help others prepare for what financial freedom really feels like. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.madfientist.com/early-retirement-preview/ Quotes to ponder: "All the things I thought I wanted to do when I stopped working didn’t actually bring me as much happiness as I imagined they would." "With nothing I had to do and no one telling me what to do, I started to feel a bit lost." "Achieving the goal of financial independence is not the end; it’s the beginning of a new and potentially more difficult journey."
