How Scott found FI and how he got his wife on board
Identifying the top ten things that make you happy (and the ten that make you miserable)
Even Happier by Tal-Ben Shahar
How FIRE lets you focus on the good things in life (and why you don’t actually need to be financially independent to do that)
Scott’s experiences with negative attitudes towards FIRE
Scott’s perfect day
Scott’s new project: the online school Hello Compound, where Scott and his partner, Rob, help others to get their financial lives in order.
