Barista FIRE: Not Quite Financial Independence, But Pretty Close
When it comes to the different sub-genres of FIRE, my favorite is probably what has been coined Barista FIRE. I wrote about Barista FIRE several years ago in a post I titled The Dream of Barista FIRE. In that post, I thought about some of my favorite jobs I had back when I was in […]

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about simple investing strategies that anyone can use. As I wrote this post, I realized an important principle that’s guided my investing strategy ever since I got my first job. It’s a principle that I think is important enough to warrant its own post.
