Good morning fellow FIRErs,
I am a 27 year-old from Chicago. I am new to the FIRE community, however, have been on the site quiet often. I found this site by chance a couple years ago while searching how to live my dream: retire and enjoy life. I live a big lifestyle and unfortunately I have big dreams in retirement (sailing), helping others, and putting future kids through school. I plan on retiring at 55-60 (that is still young to me).
My soon to be wife have been together since high school. We are both employed by megacorps and make a combined income of $130K + Bonuses. We are very fortunate and lucky for the opportunities that we have had over the last couple years and are always looking for how we can make more of an impact on our community, our work, and our lives. We are looking forward to advice and hopefully this will help us in developing a plan for our journey.
I track and update most of our financials through networthiq just to ensure that we are headed in the right direction.
Combined Financials:
Debt
