Hi Everyone,
I've been a long-time lurker on the forum, and as appeciation for everyone's thoughts, I thought that I would join the discussion. I am 39, working towards FIRE in 2-3 years. FIRE for me would likely be 'semi-retirement' - a chance to delve into those fields and experiences that are most meaningful to me. I do not have a set idea of what I hope that FIRE will hold, except for the hope that there will be opportunity to forge close friendships and to open myself to new experiences of life.
Thanks to everyone in the forum for sharing your opinions and experiences. You have helped provide courage and motivation for pursuing an alternate path.
