“For example, after having a discussion about the FIRE movement online, a man named Terrence (not his real name) reached out to me on [[Twitter]] to describe his experience as a FIRE nomad. Terrence had retired two years earlier and was now traveling the world and living out of Airbnbs for one to three months at a time. “Though his lifestyle would be considered glamorous to many, Terrence described his life as a “lonely existence” that ultimately wouldn’t work for most people.
