I think that people who pursue financial independence and early retirement not only need to be thinking about meeting their financial goals but they need to be thinking about what they truly want in this life or when they become financially independent they will not be fulfilled. What will you do when you don’t have to work for financial security anymore? I encourage all of you to start thinking about your purpose and hope today’s episode helps with that.   References from today’s show Reference: http://scienceofpurpose.org/ Brandon’s New Book: Purpose Work Nation (purposework.us) Other Book References: The Dawn of Everything,    How to connect with me: Website: www.9to5Dive.com Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/9to5DiveCommunity   Connect on Instagram: @9to5Dive Email me: [email protected]
