[quote=Anonymous]I thought FIRE sounded so freeing until the realty of it set in - so much sacrifices when you’re young and healthy - denying yourself international trips, forgoing dating, good food….well I spent my 20s traveling and not saving aggressively and I’m making up for it now but wouldn’t trade those memories especially after a recent health setback (rare health event that impacted my mobility at 36). And so many people I’ve known approaching middle age (40) are getting cancer diagnosis, deadly car wrecks or heart attacks. I hope you’re living your life because you don’t know how long you’ve got left and in what shape you’ll be. So many FIRE people also get bored and depressed when they stop working, it’s not for everyone (or most people). And expecting a 33 yo to have 1 million in this economy isn’t realistic. [/quote]
