Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
DW and I have been FIREd for over a year. Leading up to FIRE, we had a detailed plan to quit our jobs, rent out our house, and circle the globe for a year of slow travel, like a couple whom we know did. We told everyone we knew and would have bought tickets to ensure we left. Then COVID hit. We FIREd anyway and spent the winter as snow birds, have had some camping trips, and are going to Europe with friends this fall for 3 weeks. However, very honestly, renting out our house, getting someone to care for our cats and leaving for a year seems like a giant hassle now. Though we value travel highly, I have to admit that our Big Plan was more of coping fantasy and crutch to get us across the finish line of difficult careers.
I’m curious if others changed their minds about their Big Plans once they no longer had work lives they wanted to escape from?
