In this week’s episode, I discuss how mainstream media misunderstands FIRE. I debunk a lot of the common mainstream critiques of the movement and talk about how I interpret it. I also briefly review of my new e-reader and I tease media of the week (two media that misinterpret the FIRE movement and an episode of This American Life where you learn about the host’s relationship with his parents through the years).
