Hi all, First of all, I want to thank to each one of you for writing your comments! Some of the feedback has been very valuable and I really appreciate hearing opinions from you guys. Most of you are older and wiser than I am, and some of you have already experienced my situation at some point...

Hi all and happy new year to everyone! I (30M) FIREd 2 years ago. I live in Eastern Europe and for personal security reasons I keep it a secret from the people around that I am retired. Only my closest family and some of my close friends know I retired, but also to my close friends I didn’t...

Thank you for these wise words, I can sense the large amount of experience you have by reading your post :) As a matter of fact, I do not have any friends who are FIREd. What is more, another issue I am facing is that I can't even tell openly to most people around me that I am FIREd because I...

I do, and I attend the counseling sessions, but the counsellor basically says that things will eventually come together and that I will find my new purpose. I will become a father beginning of next year and I am sure it will occupy a large chunk of my time, but I think it will be beneficial for...

Hahah, that's a good one! :D

Exactly what I am thinking. If I state I am financial/wealth manager or consultant, people would definitely want to know more. I need to find some boring and dull job title that people in my surroundings would also believe into.

Exactly, that is my biggest concern at the moment. I am afraid my friends would change the attitude towards me and that I might become a target for criminals, etc. As a matter of fact, even my girlfriend doesn't know I am FIREd as I am afraid it might mess things up between us and I would...

Thank you all for great comments and the feedback so far! I achieved to be FIREd through cryptocurrencies, and many people know I've been active in the crypto field for years, but when I was quitting my official job I didn't state it as the official reason of my resignation. Very few people...

Hello everyone! I couldn’t find a thread on this topic so decided to open a new one. I am the guy in my late 20’s and I’ve already managed to get financially independent and retired early. As I would like to practice a stealth wealth, when I tell people I quit my job and don’t do anything at...
