With 85% unengaged, no wonder FIRE is all the rage.
If your goal is to retire early, you're missing out.
Here's why:
With 85% unengaged, no wonder FIRE is all the rage.
• to retire early and live a life of leisure
• work a long time at a job you find fulfilling and productive
52% answered to retire early.
But that 52% is missing the point.
Let me explain…
Which goal is more attractive to you?

Other nations followed suit and the modern-day retirement was born.
For those who have retired, 28% say they lack direction and feel isolated.
56% of Americans lose sleep worrying and thinking about retirement.
40% think financial security in retirement is unattainable.
So, how do we change this?
Ask: who is it impacting?
53% of people say they find fulfillment in their career/work beyond a paycheck, but only 15% are engaged?
We need to look for and celebrate those we’re serving.
You can’t truly know if the next stage will make you happy. Too often, it actually doesn’t.
The truth is, happiness is a choice.
Choose to find happiness where you’re at.
Framing often creates our reality. By dreading Monday, when something goes wrong just confirmed our dread.
Instead, think of your vacation as an opportunity to recharge and “reload” for your work.
We need to reframe our work into a pursuit of selfless fulfillment.
Then, when we change jobs or status, we’re not running from something.
We’re retooling to another pursuit of service.
This attitude means we're always "working," even if not paid.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.
Always. No, your company is not an exception.
A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.
I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.
You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.
Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

"we don't negotiate salaries" really means "we'd prefer to negotiate massive signing bonuses and equity grants, but we'll negotiate salary if you REALLY insist" https://t.co/80k7nWAMoK
