POF Celebrates 1 Year of FIRE

August 31, 2020 at 5:13 am EDT by Joshua Holt

“On August 12th, 2019, I walked out of the hospital as an employee for what may very well be the last time,” says POF.

“I can be as lazy as I want to be, but so far I’ve chosen to do things like train for half-marathons, do daily sets of pushups, situps, and dips, and maintain a pretty busy publishing schedule here on this website.”

“I will also say that true 100% retirement may not suit me well. Intellectually, I know we don’t need more money, but I also know that I always have, and maybe always will, enjoy making money.”
