Edition #30: Flavors of Financial Independence (FIRE movement)
Plus: Getting Covid, Financial Unfairness, iBotta and Using Less Oil
Today’s compliment: you’re on fire with life.
A big personal update: I tested positive for Covid earlier this week. Since Sunday I’ve been feeling like shit, so I probably caught the Delta in Mexico. This is despite already being vaccinated twice with the Pfizer shot.
To be honest, I thought I would’ve gotten Covid sooner in the past 1.5 years before the vaccine rollout. Thanks to vaccines, my symptoms are not crazy — it feels like a bad flu.
Symptoms: Headache, fatigue, coughing, congestion. Over the course of the week, the worse parts of fatigue and headache have abated. But what really sucks is losing my sense of smell. On Wednesday I grinded fresh coffee beans, buried my nose in for the ritual smell….and nothing!
I’ll try to look at it from the bright side — at least I can’t smell any foul things either.
PSA: stay safe, get vaccinated, and look out for the 3rd booster shot.
Today’s edition will cover the different flavors if FIRE, Financial Unfairness, iBotta and Using Less Oil.
