Episode 2637:
Helene Massicotte of FreeToPursue.com challenges the allure of "golden handcuffs," the financial incentives that keep us tethered to jobs that might not fulfill us. Through her personal journey and practical advice, she explores the importance of financial independence, the illusion of security from employer-provided benefits, and the value of pursuing a life defined by more than just monetary gains.

Quotes to ponder:
"You are an economic unit. You know your job is to maximize the resources you have at your disposal to lead the best life you can lead."
"If the only reasons you can think of to stay with your current employer are monetary, and your work life is an important way in which you define yourself, it's time to take a hard look at your situation."
