Hey everyone, it’s your friend, Fat Guy.

Today we’re talking about trophies. Those things you buy to reward yourself to mark a big change in your financial situation.  I'll read the question, share some personal thoughts, and summarize some of the responses from the FATFIRE subreddit on this topic [https://www.reddit.com/r/fatFIRE/comments/15jypwy/what_was_your_first_big_gift_to_yourself_when_you/].

A year ago, when I was going through the process of selling my company, I discovered the subreddit ‘FATFIRE.’ It became a source both of comfort and inspiration. People who - through a combination of luck and hard work - had won the game of life. At least, financially.

I love spending time on FATFIRE, and I wanted to go deeper. So I created this podcast to explore some of the topics that are shared there.
