    • Takes on FIRE
      Jan 16 2026

      In this episode, Tim and Gwen (the "Fiery Millennial") return to the namesake of the podcast to dive deep into the emotional and psychological complexities of the Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) movement. Shifting away from their usual focus on couples and money, the duo reacts to a series of Reddit posts that highlight the "on the nose" struggles of those pursuing or achieving early retirement.


      • The Emotional Anguish of Wealth: The hosts discuss a viral post from a 38-year-old with a $2.3M net worth who finds it harder to stay frugal as their bank account grows. Tim and Gwen explore why "consumer-brained" urges like million-dollar homes can feel like a trap even when you have the cash to buy them.


      • The "FIRE is a Mirage" Trap: Can retiring at 44 actually make you miserable? The team tackles the perspective of a retiree who misses the "robust" days of their 30s. They discuss the importance of building community before you quit and why only "boring people are bored" during mini-retirements.


      • Career Pivots and Teaching Reality Checks: Tim and Gwen react to an engineer who switched to teaching for the summers off, only to find themselves "busting open the spreadsheets" again. A commenter provides a reality check for Tim and OP on why teaching isn’t the "easy" retirement hobby people think it is.


      • The Happy Medium: A look at "FI without the RE," where a software engineer uses their financial independence to demand a "chilled" 120k-a-year job that allows for a semi-retired lifestyle today while investments continue to compound.


      • Gwen’s Big Announcement: Gwen shares a major personal milestone and breaks down the "retention bonus" math and her future plans for reselling and "closet flipping".
