| Posted: 25 Sep 2020 05:43 PM PDT Had minor outpatient surgery on Wednesday, drove myself home. I will recover, but it will be weeks. I have a stent in to let all the blood out. I have good insurance, but so what if it costs me 20K? 50K? I'm not worried about it. What if I can't work for a month or two and stop getting paid? I'm not worried about it. What if I lose my job because I can't return to work this year? I'm not worried about it. This is the privilege of being FI. It shouldn't be that way. You shouldn't need a net worth of a million bucks to get the medical attention you need. I am so thankful for this privilege that many people or even most people do not have, but I am sorry this privilege is necessary just to be well. [link] [comments]  |

| Have things happened in your life that changed your FIRE view? Posted: 25 Sep 2020 04:58 PM PDT My father-in-law passed away suddenly this year at age 58. He lived his life in the now with his spending and was going to need to work well into retirement as a result of it. I'm not advocating to not save or completely abandon FIRE, but I find myself uptight about maximizing every dollar and the future nest egg. I guess I'm just looking for similar stories or how others have been impacted by experiences along the way and how they might have changed you. Thanks for listening. [link] [comments]  |
