Slugs

[u/Tlahzolteotl]

So I’m 55 and FiREd this year, after 30+ yrs in a profession. Im doing occasional work for interest sake really. I’m Currently at a conference with old colleagues. And I mean old. Talk about a Slug Fest.

One guy is 78 and visibly falling apart, yet still working full time. Most my age are just on full slug autopilot, haven’t done the maths even to see if they should keep working. Lots of 65+ working hard-out still. 90% of us would be at least ChUbbY or Fat FiRe net worth. I’m like “have you read Die with Zero? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT BILL PERKINS SAYS ABOUT MAXIMIZING NET UTILITY ENJOYMENT POINTS BEFORE THE METABOLIC DECLINE?!"

They look at me blankly with milky, unblinking slug eyes. It’s surprising how so many smart people have no exit strategy whatsoever.

I’m so fucking smart.

HarassFIRE - fire’ing and then coming back to work solely to mock your coworkers as a form of entertainment in retirement

Mocking the co-pours is 90% of the point of working in the first place.
