WSJ Your Money Briefing · How to Save Enough to Say ‘No’ to Jobs · 10 Nov 2023 podcast

Financial experts often talk about the importance of saving money, mainly to cover unforeseen expenses. voice-verified

But some people are taking that a step further. voice-verified

We'll talk to WSJ's Jessica Chow after the break. voice-verified

To some people, having more control over your work life means having enough money to tell your boss goodbye and walk away. voice-verified

Jessica Chow is a senior supervising producer with The Wall Street Journal. voice-verified

She wrote about this topic, and she joins me. voice-verified

So, Jessica, what inspired you to write this? voice-verified

So when we're talking about the money, we're not talking about the salary from your job. voice-verified

Now, you like your current job, but has there been a previous job situation where you really did want to say to your boss, hey, I got to go, goodbye? voice-verified

I'm sure there are many people in similar situations where they're at a job where they're not getting ahead. voice-verified

But that takes a lot of strength to actually not want to leave, but actually take the step and leave. voice-verified

A lot of people would love to have extra money, not just an emergency fund, but to be able to maybe not have as many financial chains on their lifestyle. voice-verified

But why is this especially important to your generation? voice-verified

So not necessarily go on a great vacation or go out to dinner for two weeks. voice-verified

It's something in between that and having money for an absolute emergency. voice-verified

So how do you get yourself into position to take the first couple of steps to get yourself on the road to get to a point that you wrote about in your story? voice-verified

And now that you would want to say F you to anybody, it's just a funny category. voice-verified

People put that money under an F you fund. voice-verified

That's The Wall Street Journal's Jessica Chow. voice-verified

And that's it for your Money Briefing. voice-verified
