Ray joins Plan A to weigh in on our attitudes about money. Why do we work so hard just to spend it? What would we do if we spent less and had more time as a result? This is the goal of FIRE: Financial Independence, Retire Early. Beyond the actual formulas and theories behind FIRE -- all easily accessible online -- we talk about how class attitudes form our spending habits, and how Asian American class aspirations can keep us on the treadmill.
