Have you experienced pressure to continue your family's legacy? A question for beneficiaries of generational wealth
Today we're talking about family legacy, and the extent to which people feel an obligation to either their family or themselves to continue one. I'll read the question, share some personal thoughts, and summarize some of the responses from the FATFIRE subreddit on this topic. [https://www.reddit.com/r/fatFIRE/comments/15jnlf5/i_realize_that_a_good_portion_of_you_are_selfmade/] Here's the question: "I realize that a good portion of you are self-made, but my question is directed to those who come from generational wealth: have you experienced pressure (whether from within or from your family) to continue your family's legacy? Do you feel an intrinsic need to live up to the family name? Have you ever received pressure from the family to take over a family business or family office? Do you even care?"

Would you leave a high paying job you love, for a higher paying job that is potentially toxic for fatFIRE?
Today we're talking about the pros and cons of taking a higher paying job for a likely downgrade in work life balance. This post got a lot of comments in the FATFIRE forum this week. [https://www.reddit.com/r/fatFIRE/comments/15fdp4z/would_you_leave_a_high_paying_job_you_love_for_a/] Here's the post: "31 year old Female, living in a high cost of living area. I currently make $150k a year at a job I absolutely love. It's remote, doesn't feel like work, and a ton of flexibility and work life balance. The culture is incredible and I am highly respected at my company. A dream come true. I do believe that this is the maximum I can earn in this role, and growth opportunities are far and few between, however I would be happy doing this job for the rest of my life since it provides a great foundation for fantastic work/life balance. We plan on starting a family in the coming year, and the area in which we live has terrible public schools and you must send your child to private school. So we would like to bump up our income to continue to save at the rate at which we are currently saving. I am exploring an opportunity for a similar role (a fancier title but overall the same responsibilities have now) at a company that isn't nearly as great. Bad press and whispers of a toxic culture. My would-be manager at this company seems like a hard ass.. However, it would be more than DOUBLE the pay & still remote, also 100% coverage on healthcare for your family. This would put us in a position to save soooo much and FIRE earlier than expected. Would you take the risk and jump? For $330k, full health coverage, and a fancier title. but in exchange for perhaps a toxic culture and a mediocre boss? Is giving up some happiness worth an extra 180 thousand dollars a year?"
