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

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.  GUEST BIO - Sam Dogen: Sam is the founder of Financial Samurai, a personal finance website focused on slicing through money's mysteries. He has been featured in major publications including The Wall Street Journal, The Sydney Herald, The Chicago Tribune and The L.A. Times.  Sam is also the author of the Wall Street Journal bestselling book “Buy This, Not That: How to Spend Your Way to Wealth and Financial Freedom”.  When he’s not writing about financial independence, Sam loves spending time with his wife and two kids and playing pickleball and tennis in San Francisco.
