I've seen and heard countless stories of individuals who have reached financial independence, retire early / quit their jobs, and ultimately reached the goal they had been working towards for so long - but they're still not happy. Sometimes, someone begins pursuing financial freedom out of a motivation that it will solve all their problems or make them happy. But once they arrive at the destination they realize that they brought a whole bunch of unresolved issues a long they way that they never truly dealt with. The requirement of a high savings rate (50% +) can also cause it's own set of problems by leading to an unhealthy relationship with money if taken to an extreme. While I certainly love the pursuit of financial independence and will continue to maintain a high savings rate, I wanted to raise awareness about the implications of the journey for those who may just be getting started.
