    Sidebar--what FI/RE is NOT about

    Posted: 28 Aug 2019 06:28 PM PDT

    Its been a while since I read the sidebar, and perhaps because it is so far down I'd lost attention by the time I got here, but the guidance that FI/RE is NOT about "Taking the slow road, or the traditional road to retirement" strikes me as odd and inappropriate. I'm late 50's and not sure when I became FI exactly, but definitely a slow road by most standards. But it was a road, a reliable and apparently effective one even if a "slow road". Why is this so clearly NOT part of what FI is about? (I'll concede my path is not about RE).
