Many people are talented at managing money and are trying to hit the traditional target of earning money and retiring in their 60s. There is nothing wrong with that.
But people on the FI journey are aiming for a target that others do not see. The FI people look at retirement differently – not something that happens in your 60s.
Having financial talent is great. However, it takes a genius to see that financial talent combined with proper planning can lead to Financial Independence!
Isn’t that a target worth hitting?
Talent hits a target no one else can hit.
Genius hits a target no one else can see.
Arthur Schopenhauer
