But What if I Do Love My Job?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf your job involves doing something personally meaningful it means you are part of a fortunate minority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very few people end up in a job that relates 100% with what they want to do in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Early retirement does not mean leaving your job even if you find meaning in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should absolutely continue in your job if you find true meaning in it rather than just as a means of earning an income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Financial independence gives you the optionality to leave your job if you no longer find meaning in it at some stage in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you are financially independent, you may even come to realise that your current job is not your true calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is only when you force yourself to think about what life could be that you find your true calling in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ideology of early retirement forces you to think about your real priorities in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Priorities that go beyond what you do in your day job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your health, wealth and the time on your hands play a key role in your overall wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You reach your sweet spot when your health, wealth and time are in harmony with your life values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are now ready to pursue something that is truly meaningful to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Early retirement ideology is about getting the right balance between these 3 factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can now transition from personally meaningless employment towards meaningful work that also fulfils you emotionally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
