I really love the following anology. Was it Nords who first thought it up?
"You're carrying two buckets in your hands as you go through the workplace. One is labeled "FI" and the other is labeled "BS". As your financial independence bucket starts to fill up, the BS bucket usually begins to fill up at an ever-accelerating rate".
First off, did I properly quote it or is there more?
One comment I would make is that the main reason my BS bucket filled up so quickly is that it was only after my FI bucket started to fill that I could properly identify the BS for what it was. Earlier in my career (before my FI bucket began to fill up), I thought the BS was a normal part of the j*b.
