[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - there's a dating website for FIRE-minded people:  www.firedating.me

You can connect with a woman that is already onboard with this type of lifestyle and is likely a saver herself.[/quote]

And this is an excellent way for OP to discover he's boxed himself out of the dating pool entirely.[/quote]

To the prior PP, thanks for posting that site - I didn't know such a site existed and will look into it!

And to everyone saying that expecting a woman with $1M at 33 will limit my dating pool, I already said I will adjust if needed.  Assuming 10% growth and $100K in new contributions annually (which we can easily do on two incomes before kids), my own $2M would become $3M in three years--so even if she has $0 when we meet, we'd be fine.  My main point was that given how important FIRE is to me, any potential spouse would have to also be a saver.

If she had a bunch of student loans to pay off, didn't come from a family where she got any financial help, etc.--and only had $200K saved at 33 despite having a good job and being naturally frugal--that would be totally OK!  Dealbreakers would be prioritizing staying at the Four Seasons, as an earlier poster suggested was important to her, or similar spending habits.[/quote]

Ok, but it's really more your future plan to laze around underfoot for the rest of your life and not pay for the kids to do anything ever. [/quote]
