You're listening to Two Sides of FI, a conversation between two lifelong friends about financial independence - what it takes to get there and what comes after. One of us reached FI in 2020, the other in 2024. We started this show to document our different paths, and now that we're both post-FI, we're still figuring out how to use the freedom we spent years working toward. I'm Eric and I'm joined by my friend Jason, and this is our story.

Imagine hitting your FI number, retiring early, and discovering you hate it?

Some are unable to find motivation without financial incentives, while others realize they haven't budgeted enough to do things they enjoy in life.
