Financial Independence - The OTHER SIDE NO ONE is talking about

I can still remember the very day I picked up the 4 hour work week and how the concept of passive income changed my life. Along with certain money books and then a few blog posts clicked later - this word FIRE popped up like a lightbulb moment. For me it felt like the perfect answer to my frustrations I had been looking for.

I want to talk though today after 5 years of working towards FIRE, my experiences of the good and other side of things. I hope this helps someone out there to decide what works best for them too.
