Episode 3588: Jacob Lund Fisker challenges traditional views of productivity by emphasizing that true output isn't about managing time, but about wisely using finite reserves of creative, physical, and social energy. By likening productivity to a goose that can only lay one golden egg per day, he highlights the critical importance of balancing extraction, maintenance, and expansion to sustain long-term success without burnout. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://earlyretirementextreme.com/productivity-and-the-goose-that-laid-the-golden-eggs.html Quotes to ponder: "Productivity is not about maximizing extraction. The rate of extraction must not be maximized. Maximizing extraction is bad." "If a person creates a lot of value in a single day, you can rest assured that very little of the same kind of value will be produced the next day." "Productivity, therefore, is not about expending time more efficiently - it's not about expending more energy either. It is about expending energy most efficiently." Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 3080: Saving, borrowing, or investing, Jacob Lund Fisker breaks down the three fundamental approaches to financing your life. By understanding the power of living off interest rather than paying it, you can accelerate financial independence and avoid the "one more year syndrome" that keeps many from retiring even when they've reached their goal. Find out how to determine your financial "enough" and pull the trigger on true freedom. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://earlyretirementextreme.com/the-three-methods-of-finance-and-when-enough-is-enough.html Quotes to ponder: "You can pay as you go. You save money and then you spend it. If you don't have the money, you can't afford it and if you can't afford it, you don't buy it." "Financial independence means not having to finance like the people in class 2 and it usually also implies not having to earn money by working, but let's not get hung up on words." "There are a lot of stories about people who wanted to squeeze in just one extra bit of work to meet some retirement target. Then when they reach it, they think to themselves, well, if I worked just a little longer, I could buy this and this and that."

Jacob is the Author of Early Retirement Extreme. According to Jacob, ERE is much much more than just “retiring extremely early” by “sacrificing tourism and expensive restaurants”. It is effectively a philosophy of living. Now, you can read a summary on the wiki; a much longer version in the book; or you can try to piece things together from the blog, but the short story is that ERE is a set of values and principles that gives me—as well as you, if so desired—the freedom and opportunity to live an interesting and resilient life.We cover: How To Brace For A Recession With the ERE Method. How To Leverage The Internet To Be Skill Resilient.Choice Architecture & Capitalism. Early Retirement Extreme, Success, & Spirituality.And more!Enjoyed this episode?

Doesn't it sound awesome to be financially independent, have enough money saved, and be able to live the life you've always wanted? Many people feel like this is a pipe dream or something they might get to experience in their 60s.  However, the FI movement is all about enjoying this kind of freedom and choice now, in your 30s or 40s. This week, Ben and Andrew delve into the primary ways you can make this a reality for yourself and why they believe entrepreneurship is such an accelerating factor in this journey. They also address Mr. Money Mustaches' 2012 article, The Shockingly Simple Math Behind Early Retirement (linked below), emphasizing how surprisingly easy it is to retire early by increasing the percentage of your take-home pay that you save (and invest) instead of spend.  In this episode, listen for A discussion on whether saving 50% of your income is reasonable or sustainable  Tying your financial independence goals and debt control together How entrepreneurship can provide time freedom and control over your schedule as you pursue FI so you don't get burned out by the daily grind  Andrew poses several questions you may want to ask yourself, including:  How much can you save?  How many years earlier will that help you retire?  Is that going to be a sustainable savings rate?    Read all the show notes, get the resources discussed, and follow our FI Entrepreneurship journey at https://bonafidefinance.com/   Mr. Money Mustache's 2012 article that Ben highly recommends: https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/01/13/the-shockingly-simple-math-behind-early-retirement/ Jacob Lund Fisker's book that inspired the FI Movement: https://www.amazon.com/Jacob-Lund-Fisker/e/B0049I0MOI/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_book_1 More on the 4% rule that Ben teased about:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Bengen https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/is-4-four-percent-rule-still-valid/   Bona Fide Finance:  Website: https://bonafidefinance.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bonafidefinance Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BonaFideFinancialPlanning/  Fb Profile: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069532276726   Student Loan Tax Experts: Website: https://studentloantaxexperts.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/student-loan-tax-experts/

As we graduate through the seven stages of FI (explanation of all 7 in episode 3, linked below), there are three main levels of Financial Independence. You might want to dine, travel, shop, and live comfortably while being financially independent which is called Fat FI. In contrast, one might achieve Lean FI, which covers the extreme basic necessities and a very frugal lifestyle.  Ben and Andrew explain what each level means and explore the lifestyle it may afford. Knowing and understanding these segments will assist you in figuring out just how much you need in passive income and investments to achieve the lifestyle and freedom level you desire.   The 3 Levels of Financial Independence Lean FI Coast FI Fat FI   In this episode, listen for What style of FI Andrew is working toward right now Why Ben feels everyone should be shooting for Coast Fi An explanation of the 4% rule and how it applies to you   Read all the show notes, get the resources discussed, and follow our FI Entrepreneurship journey at https://bonafidefinance.com/   Jacob Lund Fisker's book that inspired the FI Movement: https://www.amazon.com/Jacob-Lund-Fisker/e/B0049I0MOI/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_book_1   The 7 Stages of FI - Episode 3: chartable link   Bona Fide Finance:  Website: https://bonafidefinance.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bonafidefinance Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BonaFideFinancialPlanning/  Fb Profile: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069532276726 Student Loan Tax Experts: Website: https://studentloantaxexperts.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/student-loan-tax-experts/
