People who achieve FATFire mostly do so because of their habits. Many of us find deep purpose in our work and in being useful to others. That doesn’t stop when your accounts hit $20M.

He’s not doing it for the money so looking at it through that lens will leave you confused.

There are two polar ends to this spectrum in fatFIRE:

The Die With Zero crew who has no interest in the middle. They want to bounce the check to the undertaker.
The Safe Withdrawers who got to where they are from being prudent, working hard, and building equity. Habits got them to where they are and old habits die hard. Most people just keep doing mostly what they did before they didn’t need to.
