Second Thoughts on FIRE

[foxfirev5]

I don't knnow where to start with this but your aspirations bring back memories of my youth. I read books at a slow pace, fished daily and slept under the stars for up to 30 nights at a time. All this was done by age 12. By the age of 28 I was knee deep in obligations of a family nature and FIRE never even occurred to me. However, I plodded along pretty much doing what I liked and saved a big portion of my salary.
Everyone's on a different path. Have confidence in your abilities and do as you wish. Good luck

You can go after FI and hold off on RE.

DH & I became FI at the end of last year & man, oh, man, what a sense of peace & relief that is! Now we can focus on accumulating wealth & make plans for RE and what that would look like. If you have a job you love, I say stick with it until you don't want to do it anymore. Most people seem to spend their entire lives looking for a job they love!
