I wanted to share this neat article:
The medium chill | Grist
The Medium Chill - The whole point is to earn enough to enable you to enjoy life. Not exactly the same as working toward FIRE, but I am sure the sentiments in the article will resonate with many here.

That's what consumer culture forever tells us: more money/stuff/status means fewer constraints, more freedom, more choices, thus more happiness. The entire economy runs on spending and debt, and for that to work everyone needs to think they're not happy but could be happy if they just had more sh*t or a better job or a better house. Every "consumer" needs to be running on the treadmill, working toward the next thing.
