I wrote a whole post about it. Definitely not my finest writing, haha!! Also purple is indeed awesome.😎
I can’t speak to the late stage of FI, as I’m less than a year deep in the mid stage, but what you write about the entire arc seems accurate. I’m trying to make happiness a priority, and constantly reminding myself that if I’m not happy it’s on me to figure out why and make adjustments. Like you said, during grind phase I paid lip service to all of the lifestyle/post FI content and went straight to the investing and savings strategies. Now I could care less about life hacks which save 5 bucks, and am devouring what all you post FI peeps have figured out about living a good life.
Good reminder overall that you have to intentionally adapt to your circumstances, as it’s easy to forget to do so when your circumstances have gotten amazingly better.
