In this episode, Michael shares what life really looks like after reaching Financial Independence. Spoiler: it's not all hammocks and golf rounds.
From repainting rental properties and managing guilt over working less, to the emotional weight of holding a full time job post-FI, this episode explores the unexpected complexities that come once you hit your FI number - and why "freedom" sometimes brings more questions than answers.
Michael unpacks:
-
The emotional cost of being a “nice guy” landlord
-
Delegating property tasks and embracing manual labour
-
Feeling out of sync with the 9-5 life (even when it’s “flexible”)
-
The surprise guilt of working less - and still feeling overcommitted
-
The temptation and reality of buying a holiday home
-
Lessons learned from an entrepreneurial brother-in-law
-
Why retirement isn't the answer - and FIRE is more about framework than finality
