Life Options in a Post-FI World

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 Show Notes Subscribe the the monthly newsletter This episode has been sponsored by KennCo Insurance.
