It’s not hard to see why people find that unfair or whatever though. It’s complete disillusionment with the “dream.” Why is our society/economy structured in such a way that we spend our youthful years struggling and only get to enjoy the fruits when we are older? It’s why FIRE is so appealing to some, you get to get out early.

Isn't this exactly "spend the youthful years struggling and get to enjoy the fruits when you are older"? ;)

		Yes, but at a much younger "older." Just working within the broken system for a potentially less-bad outcome.

		Funny. The FIRE people I’ve spoken to have an attitude of “if I’m going to do it, I may as well go all-in.”
