Great post, it sounds like you have quite the exceptional community in Colorado. I’m sure your FI community has a profound affect on so many people, all around the globe. Keep up the good work!

In reply to JSD.

Hey JSD, great to hear from you and thanks for checking in. As far as defaulting into those mindsets, I hear you. For me, my undesirable mindsets are somewhere on the edge of where I tend to better ones. Waiting to regrow if I slack on maintenance. You’re right about the local FI community. That and micro breweries are things we seem to be good at out here. If you’re ever coming by this area and want to meet up let me know 👍

Just placed a hold on Taking Stock at my library. Sounds like I could use it, especially the whole flattening the pyramid part. Since FIRE’ing I’ve fallen into the desire to want to do all of the things, and have been trying to embrace the chill instead. I often stress myself out about this, which is completely ridiculous. Total first world problem; it’s amazing how quickly I’ve adapted to this wonderful freedom and if I’m not careful will default to a mindset I should have outgrown by now.
I will say I’m jealous of the community you all have in Denver. Still plugging away at getting something similar off the ground by me. Your description, along with stuff I’ve heard on Mile High FI, motivates me to keep trying to get a local community together.
Thanks for the post, I’m glad you’re still putting stuff out here.
