In this episode, Michael responses to a listener email.  The email asked Michael why he doesn't look to apply more moderation and consistency to his FI journey.  Michael responses by talking about the elephant in the room - that FIRE is extreme and that to make it work long term, it often needs to be done in phases.He also talks about how compounding not only investments, but also our ability to earn income and reduce expenses, ultimately is what makes ones FI journey not a linear thing.Show Notes:Download and try The Die With Zero Calculator:https://www.moneyflamingo.com/free-resources/Subscribe to the Monthly Newsletter:https://www.firepodcast.ie/newsletter
