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."
