Nereo,
Thanks for checking out the article.
I agree that if you're making money whether before or after Financial independence, it is always a good idea to preferentially max out tax deferred investment options.
In terms of the "it's not about the money"comment, there is an interesting paradox in there somewhere, I believe. On one hand it's about nothing but the money, Saving it, investing it, using it wisely.
But on the other hand it really is not about the money. It is about living a good life filled with meaning and happiness. And I wonder if there is not a bit of a trap for folks like us to become too obsessed with money? As in if you've won the game, and you're still playing it, is this Focus on money a counterproductive trap in and of itself?
There's a whole blog post in there somewhere. Stay tuned.
