Good point. Sometimes those that we trust the most, become the worst enemies. It is hard to generalize about that, because each person's situation is different. But your point is well taken.

Also I agree with your sentiment regarding the FIRE movement. I admire anyone who wants to buck the system and benefit from it. However I think that when a radical idea becomes a faith based movement, it is over. We will all see a lot of press on this in the coming 12 months. Even PBS did a NewsHour segment on it last week. At that point, it is no longer a niche endeavor I am particularly proud to be a part of. When things go mainstream, I go the other direction.
