I want to FI at 47 so I can open a huge animal sanctuary Where animals without a home can come live I know it sounds crazy but thats what I want to do
Comment from : ependysi

I come back to this video a couple times a year to ground myself in Vicki's incredible counsel It helps me (re)focus on my greater mission There are too many quotes to mention but suffices to say that I think her message of contribution hits the nail on the head FI is only the beginning of a larger lifelong journey

As we pass through the world, the world passes through us brbrShe goes on to try to verbalise this sense of vast interconnectedness, and how we become a reflection of the world, in the same way we are a reflection of where we were raised brbrI think the reason why this is important to her, and the FI community is because a lot of us just wants to stop the hamster wheel/rat race, and JUST BE brbrBut there is no stopping, not while we are alive You can't escape the system, not completely Even if you lock yourself in your room, you will continue to become a reflection your environment - even if that is just being cold and pale like the walls of your man cavebrbrYou cannot isolate yourself from reality Every second of living is consequential So you may aswell do some good while you are here

I am 45 and reached FI when I was 41 Sometimes I have a difficult time explaining to people what I do I have investment properties that do not require me to "work" every day and also receive a military pension with healthcare I have more than I need financially I may log in to the computer or make phone calls once or twice every two weeks, I go to the gym every day and also cook for my wife and I amongst other things Some people (mostly men) always ask what do I do all day LOL I am married and my wife has 5 years before receiving a pension How do you guys explain FI, that we own our time and that we do not participate in the "rat race" without sounding arrogant? GREAT VIDEO AND PHILOSOPHIES!

I'm working on FI but I encourage people to not wait - start helping NOW A lot of FI people have major skills that non-profits could really benefit from you sharing with them (eg I do graphic design for a local humane society) Do what you can to help a cause you care about (local is ideal) and become a part of your community now I hope this will make my transition to FI easier because my goal now is to dedicate myself to this and more causes - but at least I've started! Don't wait for FI to start finding what you can give back to your community

Omg I lovvveeddd this Self expression! Intentionally Creative living Grounded and spiritual, ancient and future in one
Comment from : BeautyWay Studio

From what I have seen most people who undertake the FI journey are generally quite cerebral and above average IQ They see FI as an opportunity to analyse life and existence
Comment from : Bright Button

Beautiful, Vicki! and not discussed enough
Comment from : Ella Heath

Genius Incredibly inspiring Thank you, Vicki
Comment from : Michelle Hurtado

I found myself wanting towards this life path already at a very young age Now in my thirties I can say that each step I've taken has helped to get me to here, now I think having a primary focus on developing internally while I was a young man--rather than being focused on external success, money or material things--was extraordinarily helpful for me in the long run With so much of the inner battle already won, the external realm is coming together nicely now It's all about priorities And, your time is the most precious thing you will ever have so deploy it consciously and joyfully as much as you can, even during mundane, everyday tasks Vicki Robin's discussion on the human journey--and the greater implications beyond merely achieving FI--is undoubtedly marvelous and well-spoken Thank you
Comment from : MegaSpacemanSpliff

@vicki What you absolutely brilliantly explained is philosophically covered in the ancient Indian philisophy of Advaita Vedantato be concscious in this little slice of eternity
Comment from : Sunil Kameshwar

This was beautiful Wonderfully said
Comment from : K Trilla

This was a fantastic video and gets to the heart of the philosophical aspects of financial independence Speaking only for myself, the whole reason I've chased FI so hard is because I want to give myself as many options as possible The pursuit of money isn't an end in itself, just a means to an end One of my favourite musicians ever, Neil Peart, in the years before his untimely death said something in an interview that really resonated with me: "what's the most excellent thing I can do today?" THAT is where I want to get to

Thanks for sharing this video She has so many great insights
Comment from : Ben Rowland

Wow There's so much amazingness in her words and this video I need to watch it a few more times to really digest it Words of wisdom!
Comment from : Friends On FIRE

Ahhhh that was sooo good!!
Comment from : Heyyy Its Hewan

So deep I was totally dumbfounded
Comment from : emily james

My interpretation- FI should only be a way to fast track the ascent up Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and reach self-actualization while we are still young (with self-actualization usually being a lifestyle that brings us into a deeper connection with community)
Comment from : JAUSTIN

Love love love this msg!
Comment from : Fanny Ramirez

Love this The journey to FI is the key The closer we get the more peace I feel and the more I use my time to notice nature and help others find their niche and be happy
Comment from : Kerry Low

I love everything what you say I need to listen to it one more time It is deep I love the expression " a slice of eternity " I am on my way of FI It is great to hear how your view to the world has changed
Comment from : tetsuko uehira

Brilliantly insightfulHer nuggets of wisdom are priceless
Comment from : iamkerenlouise

Such beautiful words of wisdom!
Comment from : Tom Simak

"To be conscious in this little slice of eternity" how perfect
Comment from : TinLizzie Studios

Beautifully said! FI is definitely a tool that helps you pursue your interests and live your purpose of life I wasn’t able to do those things through my work I’m newly FIREd and excited about this new chapter!
Comment from : Organic Freedom

This reminds me of the book The 4-Hour Workweek He talks about that sense of lost purpose/identity on your first “mini retirement” just like this Good luck to you all on your FI journey!
Comment from : Marisa Martinez

I so needed to hear you say this! Thank you I need to endeavor to think beyond my monetary goal
Comment from : Karl BE

I love this video - so insightful It would have been great to see it included in its entirety in the Playing with FIRE movie (instead of just a 5 second quote excerpt), but I understand why it wasn't - Vicki's thoughts run much deeper than the basics of FIbrbrPlaying with FIRE crew: Travis and Scott/Taylor - we really need a second documentary that goes beyond the basics of FI and speaks to the issues Vicki raised - identity, purpose, and what lies beyond FIRE!
Comment from : Peter Gallant

Sage wisdom here
Comment from : Brendan Evan

Hits home on so many levels - good luck everyone with all your individual journeys towards whatever freedom means to you
Comment from : Dallas Storey

Ah explained so well It was as if my thoughts were being spoken aloud
Comment from : Vrinda Jadhav

Just watched the documentary with Mum and now she’s hooked on these YouTube vids! Vicki is her favourite
Comment from : Captain FI

Comment from : The Frugal Investor

"Your work -- who you are is a non-stop self-expression" This is an awesome clip! Full of genuine and real wisdom! Thank you, I'm glad I heard this :)
Comment from : Element Bey13

Forget that I need get to FI first
Comment from : Anna Jones

@12:10 it’s exactly what AI and robotics doing now and will continue to increasingly from lowest occupations up Central bank/IMF plan is form of UBI thru their own digital currency tied to behavior similar to China’s social credit score system It’s happening now with bailout/stimulus pyts in many countries incl US and most are opting out of work and happily living off govt which has consequences incl giving up personal freedoms/powers and autonomy over time Unless they see that now it will be too late

Very few people are knowledgeable and lovely at the same time Vicki is one of them Your money or your life changed my life
Comment from : Vishnu

This kinda sounds like buddhism
Comment from : echtnietjaifi

Guys you are a huge inspiration for me! I recently started my own YouTube channel on side hustles and finances, and I keep coming back to your videos for inspiration! Keep up the great work on the excellent content!
Comment from : Side Hustle Steven

Her book was amazing But the real question that you have to have an answer to before starting on this path is -- what will I do with all this time? And I think a good way to start answering that is thinking about what you would do everyday if nobody was paying you for it? Many people call this a hobby, i call it a purpose
Comment from : Atypical Driver

I needed this It feels really good to know other people go through the lack of direction after FI
Comment from : mike569112

I am truly grateful to receive the wisdom you shared in this video Thank you Vicki!
Comment from : A River

The irony is that working your ass off to achieve fi impedes your ability to grapple with these deeper questions that you have time to confront once you reach fi
Comment from : Ella Ray Kondrat

I simply need one kind human being to help me know where to put some money to make passive income Thanks Vicky, I'm a long time fan!
Comment from : zdreamin

So this is why all the self made millionaires adopt Buddhism
Comment from : Thomas Darling

Very interesting perspective and application of Hero's Journey idea and social justice awareness to the FIRE conversation Very cool!

This is SO deep, that I’m getting goose bumps
Comment from : Digital Divvy

Vicki and Joe changed my life when this book came out in the 80s Super grateful for their life changing book Your Money or Your Life! Being Financially Free is EPIC and so worth the delayed gratification It took us 13 years and we have had 20 years of Financial Freedom!
Comment from : Down Home Money

This was EVERYTHING 💝 She is so right, and I love how she said said "As we pass through the world, the world passes through us" Definitely motivated me to make sure I leave this place a little better than it was while I lived💯💕 Thank you for this interview 🤜🤛😉
Comment from : Katrina Gay

Wow! This is an amazing view of what it matters in life: contributing to someone from a place of love FI just help to achieve that I really enjoyed this interview!
Comment from : Salesforce Giulia

I would argue that setting your own house in order and helping those close to you, does more wider good than you can ever know, I would say the third quadrant is actually achieved in the second
Comment from : Tomb

Vicki is achieving self actualization and I want to get there but need to sustain FI first
Comment from : AX L

Love this I’m a long time fan of Vickie and appreciate her truth bombs Bring her on again!
Comment from : margaret shields

I wish I could give this more than 1 thumbs up She raises the real questions in life, whether we want to grapple with them now or not More like this, please!
Comment from : Lisa Jenkins

Vicki changed the direction of my life I am so grateful for her work

The knowledge in this video is just astonishing
Comment from : bit Domains

Ayn Rand wasn't opposed to charity Entitlement and voluntary charity are two very different things
Comment from : Jfhelwig

Wow! I love hearing this side/these results of the fire movement To reach financial independence is a privilege To have more time and energy to ask bigger questions is a privilege Maybe we can make the world a better place, one loving action at a time
Comment from : Emily Quinlan

This was great I guess I'm in the third quadrant She is a real philosopher I'm going to look her up and consume some more of her content
Comment from : TheRetirementality

It’s a little worrisome though i“How can I help?”/i can morph into i”He lived for others You could tell by the hunted look in their eyes”/i
Comment from : Eric DaMAJ

Vicki Robin is out of this WORLD and we don't deserve her Please enjoy this unique take on the FIRE journey! And if you love it, please share!
