We are starting to see signs of the social changes that we have talked about here for the past several years, namely, the framing of post FIRE Economy downward mobility as a lifestyle "choice."

Re: Downshifting
Fred,
Tulip is brilliant. This trend of minimalism is going to be more profound then anyone things. It is becoming chic. Go to http://storyofstuff.com/ to see how deep it may go. It is a great thing in the long run.
Like so many others I have been burned by financial advisors after growing up around wall street, knowing better. I built two software companies, made a lot and then lost 35% over the past year. I still have the email from October 2007 I sent to my advisor telling him it was absurdly obvious that we had a bubble. A peak market with out of control debt? 2T in GDP that is due to cash outs and debt? Same old same old, you can't time etc...
I got out with enough left to be okay. Financial advisors are a scandal. -

Chic with who, hipsters or real people? This is an important distinction.Originally posted by Vinyasa123 View PostComment
