We should all spend more money to save time. The entire point of FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is to do more of what we love and less of what we hate. Since time is more valuable than money, it only makes sense to use wealth to minimize inconvenience.
The challenge for many of us in the FIRE community is that we’re often too frugal, so frugal that we trap ourselves in scarcity even after achieving abundance.
If we’re willing to give up a six- or seven-figure paycheck for freedom, spending a few thousand dollars to buy back more time shouldn’t be so hard to justify. Remember: the ultimate goal isn’t just wealth, it’s freedom.
