Financial Independence involves striking a balance between minimalism and enough.
What better medium to represent this balance in verse than through Financial Independence haiku, or FI-iku?
Heart in hand and tongue in cheek, a ragtag band of personal finance bloggers convened to distill our words to their fundamental essence. Here's what happened when geeky met artsy.
After FI I Still
Answer to a demanding
Boss, but it’s me now
Honey, I never
Said my clippers could replace

Old MacDonald had
A farm. Now his barn is a
Cash-flowing triplex.

worked hard saved my dough
compounded like a wizard
got old quit in time

The key phrase is “quit in time.” Amen.
Well done! This was a really fun idea, I’m glad that you suggested it. There have been some great Haiku’s to come out of this challenge already.

I call this; A Wrapper in Black & White
The Bag may differ
But the potato inside
Moves my mouth the same
Got this hat for free
No harm onto the budget
Just blur out the dick
I was going to keep submitting, but this one offends even my artistic sensibilities. I fear it will be my swan song.
Why would there be a dick on the hat? My wife asks,
Maybe that’s why it was free.

I’m totally in! Just finishing up my post.
