The Hidden Danger of Saving Too Much (No One's Talking About This)⎟Ep. 2336
Can you save too much?
After 2,000+ episodes telling people to invest more, pay off debt, and build wealth — Ed and Andrew flip the script.
In this episode, they tackle the dark side of the FIRE movement and extreme frugality. The burnout. The broken relationships. The people who reached financial freedom but forgot to live along the way.
You'll learn:
-Why going too hard, too fast with saving often backfires
-The real stories of FIRE followers who "took it too far and took value from their life"
-How saver/spender dynamics can make or break a relationship
-A 3-step framework for finding the balance between building wealth and actually enjoying it
The purpose of money is to maximise lifetime happiness. Sometimes that means saving more. Sometimes it means spending more.
