I was just reflecting on a big benefit of FIRE, helping your family during a tight spot.
My DD and great SIL (and amazing GD) were in the middle of a cross country military transfer when their PU truck engine blew (Thx to the F-150 oil pan!!). There were in a real hard spot and I had the ability to write a check for a replacement truck so they could complete their transfer.
A comparatively modest sum made all the difference (for want of a nail,....).
