When Sam Dogen retired in 2012 at the age of 34 with a $3 million net worth, he made waves as one of the pioneers of the FIRE—financial independence, retire early—movement. Ten years later, he's making waves again—for saying it's time to go back to work.

Dogen, now 45, has written the popular personal finance blog Financial Samurai since 2009. Through it, readers have followed his and his family's journey, from saving for early retirement to leaving the financial industry to writing a book and more.
