This line of thought shows a fundamental difference in perception. To a lot of people, working a 9 to 5 will never make you respectable no matter what it is you're actually doing. These people work to live, whereas your stance is that of someone who lives to work. I don't care how the company remembers me after I've retired and never have to give them so much as a spare thought. I have a whole life ahead of me that I intend to live without having their massive black hole of time waste looming over me.
you may win the FIRE game but you've cost yourself the chance to be something you respect
