Work Optional
by Tanja Hester
Hester retired at thirty-eight and writes about FIRE with more emphasis on purpose, health care, and what you are retiring to. Includes planning worksheets and a thoughtful section on early retirement's emotional side.

Three things you will actually use

- Health care is the plan's weak joint.
- Purpose does not come with the account balance.
