Liking your job is no excuse for not saving up a nest egg to either tide you over in tough times, or, eventually, declare financial independence.

You specifically said that people are living to go tell their boss to go jump in a lake. That is nothing like your response here. If I was independently wealthy I would still work in my career, it's fun and I get to help sick people. The idea that work is not fulfilling and unlimited materialistic leisure is everyone's goal is one of the worst ideas ideas in our society.

Maybe I wasn't clear. I don't think people are all living that way. I think people should live that way. Financial independence should be a person's goal from the day they are born, whether they love their job or not.
