Best answer
Definitely FI. Retire early in the sense I don't have to have a job but will still work to some degree but am excited to see what work I would choose to do or where my creative endeavors would lead me. For instance I work for a private timber company and soon will switch to a land surveying company. But if I didn't have to work I might do something like set rock climbing routes part time at a climbing gym because I love doing that but doesn't pay great money.

The meaning is the same. Not relying on trading your time for money to survive.

I would love to retire at 60 instead of 65. Does that count? Lol

FI. I just want to have the time to write like I want, instead of doing it around my full-time job (fast food, which I do just to pay the bills)

Tax refund is coming. Should we pay the whole amount on our largest card to get the $350 minimum payment down.or should we split it up and pay off ALL of our smaller cards (some of which are behind and we’re starting to get a lot of collections calls) The refund would be enough to pay off all of our small debts, but it wouldn’t leave any to touch the biggest debt with that huge minimum payment and high interest rate.
