The Gambler - Fuck You
Youtube Videos
A short clip from the film The Gambler in which John Goodman's character gives a monologue about the 'position of fuck you': building enough financial security that you owe nobody anything. The scene is a compact statement of financial independence as freedom.
HN points to it as the source and best distillation of 'fuck you money', in threads about FIRE, windfalls, layoffs and financial literacy.
