Why Coast FIRE is Irrational | Sam Dogen (Financial Samurai)

Marriage Kids and Money: Personal Finance for Families

I love the concept of Coast FIRE. It allows you to free up more money to enjoy life now instead of retirement.

But … just because I think Coast FIRE is great, doesn’t mean everyone does.

To help us get another perspective on this Coast FIRE concept and what could go wrong with it, I’ve invited Sam Dogen back on the show today.
