I am not going to click on the poll results. I don't need to see that we are not keeping up with the Jones.
Now off to see if someone new to the forum has posted whether they should retire early in their 50s with an $8+ million portfolio ...

To some that question is stupid or their thinking someone is bragging about their portfolio etc..
At one time I asked that question and was ridiculed for asking such a question. I really didn't know and was asking if I had enough and I guess I was very naïve. I had no idea I could retire, and I always respect that same question when asked.
I will take part in this poll, the last one was not of interest to me at all.
Good idea. Thread title changed.
Why? Like others I lied on FF1 since it was pointless, I won’t vote on FF2. As others have pointed out, even if everyone is totally honest it’s meaningless to do a poll with SI, FI and everything in between lumped together. Not to mention single v married, 50-somethings v 80-somethings etc. I know, I’ve unwittingly done bad polls…Kicking off a poll to better understand where folks are at with useable assets, retirement and non-retirement funds only. Please exclude house(s), boats or that Lambo from your childhood dreams... ;-)
Why?

I don’t care, it doesn’t change my circumstances at all. I’ll have to take your word for it about other peoples curiosity. While we’re speaking for others, maybe the other option should be “none of your business, anonymous or not” - might be substantial…People are curious what levels of funds FIRE individuals have. For the next poll I'll make an option for those that want to lie, what option should I make for you? ;-)

Which people?
True with your example, but then we also see questions of can I BTD for 15k/25k with a large portfolio............
I am confused by the poll. Is it asking what your desired portfolio/what you’re aspiring to in order to retire or is it asking whether you are currently retired at that portfolio level?
