Hey Jacob-

I have 2 questions/comments I would appreciate your feedback on.

1. When people find something they are truly passionate about, it often is the case that “work” doesn’t really feel like work. I often wonder about all the CEO’s, business owners, etc who have more than enough money to retire but continue to work (Warren Buffet…). My dad is 65 and is a small business owner and could retire but wants to keep working because he is very passionate about what he does and thinks he will be “bored” having “nothing” to do all day. Do you ever think about this and specifically why successful people often choose to continue to work?

2. If you retire in your 30’s and there is a severe market downturn, high inflation or other possible unexpected issues, are you not worried that your savings will not be able to support you going forward? I know you can “always go back to work”, but if you haven’t worked for 10-15 years…that isn’t necessarily attractive to potential employers. My question is, someone retired with “modest” savings in their 30’s may be okay today, but how do you not worry about the future?

Thanks,

David
