While Darwin traveled the world doing the research that would eventually lead to his theory of natural selection, he wrote letters home to his sisters.  

Interspersed with his cheerful narratives were requests for money from his father, Dr. Darwin. Because Darwin’s participation in the voyage was an independently funded enterprise, Dr. Darwin arranged for cash to be made available for his son at a succession of out-of-the-way places around the globe. 

Darwin had said before the voyage that he would have to be "clever” to spend money while at sea. Amused, Dr. Darwin replied, “but they tell me you are very clever.” Setting sail for Tahiti from the coast of South America, Darwin wrote home to his sisters, “I verily believe I could spend money in the very moon. . . . My Fathers patience must be exhausted.”

Darwin would go from being a young spend-thrift to recording every single penny that went through his hands and saving 50% of his annual income.  

He was a "FI"er way back in the 1800s.  

But is 2020 still in the time of "survival of the fittest" or might his own theories be evolving... especially as it relates to the economy and YOUR money?
