Tim and Gwen dive into three juicy stories — starting with a debate in the FIRE community about whether financial independence has shifted from resourcefulness to relying on high incomes.

Finally, they tackle a student’s shock when wealthy parents reveal they won’t pay for college because “student loans build character.” It’s part money talk, part relationship drama, and fully peak Fire Takes.
