Not FIREd yet, but one thing I have started doing since I remade my portfolio to be a bit more conservative is to take very high risk/high reward bets using options with very small amounts of money. If my bet pans out, I make a huge % return in a short time. If it doesn't, either the options expire worthless or I lose a small chunk of money cashing them out for less than I paid. Obviously not for the faint of heart, but it adds some potential upside to my portfolio, and sometimes those bets work out.
