  2. Part 2 ・ #72 ・ 2026-04-16Needs vs. wants: the psychology of money anxiety (with Hao Hsu-Lieh, part 2)

    Welcome back to FIRE University — this is part two of my interview with Brother Hao (Hao Hsu-Lieh). Last time we talked about retirement and the formula for freedom. This time we go deeper: when your savings grow, why doesn't the anxiety in your heart shrink? Brother Hao incisively analyzes the psychological line between "wants" and "needs," and offers a striking idea: "Financial freedom is yours to decide." If you're at a stage of pursuing wealth but feeling exhausted, this episode will be the key prescription for finding your calm again.
