Episode 3735:
The Mad Fientist shares how telling his bosses he was leaving repeatedly led to offers to keep working remotely, often at significantly higher pay. He explains how having enough savings to not need a job gives you the courage to quit, and how that leverage can speed up your path to financial independence by helping you negotiate better terms or find a better role.

Quotes to ponder:
"I realize remote working may not be an option for all of you but the important thing to take away from this story is that having the courage to quit provides opportunities you may not even know exist." "The best way to get that courage is to have enough money saved up to not need the job (even if only for a few months/years)." "There's no risk in applying for a new job every once in a while and only good things can come from it."
