I started thinking after reading the forum "Where were you at 31." I am 26, so I started thinking about where I will be in 5 years. At one time, I thought I wanted to stay in my current job, tough it out, with the hope of being FIREd in 14 years -- at the age of 40. Lately, I've come up with another plan that might delay FIRE but make the Mrs. and I happier. In the next 5 years, I'd like to build my nest egg, not to the point of FIRE, but to where I can let it sit and grow while I take lesser paying jobs. Ideally, in 5 years I could cut back on my savings and still FIRE at 45-50 or so. I'm not certain what type of jobs I might look for in five years, but here are some thoughts that run through my my mind:
-Try to get in the foreign service (as a side note, anyone here ever done this?)
-Move and teach abroad with the Mrs.
-Work for NPO
Anyways, where do you all see yourself in 5 years?
