This is a poll about your financial situation when you FIRED.

What I would like to know is how many of you retired with less than your original target portfolio amount. For example: you thought you would need $3M but retired with $1.8M instead. I also listed voting options if you were somehow pushed into the situation (e.g., lost job, health issue, etc).

Please comment about the situation. List your age at retirement and how you decided to ER (especially if you were below your target $ or age) and if it has made difference in your lifestyle.
