[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We have around $2.5-3m in assets, excluding any home equity in our primary residence. I feel like we can live on just my spouse's income, maybe cutting back just slightly. My spouse does not want to cut back on our lifestyle at all.[/quote]

What if he also wants to retire now? [/quote]

Why do you assume OP is a woman - is it just because the site is called "DC Urban Moms?"  The FIRE movement, especially the ultra-early and ultra-frugal version, which OP is espousing, is made up almost 100% of men.[/quote]

I was driving home thinking about this post. And it occurred to me that OP is a guy. That is why there is no mention of child care, concern about college. He's dreams of being a slacker, which doesn't cost that much--with no concern for his kids. He might be the guy who said on another thread that no way was he paying for his kids college. Let them get loans!

I wonder how much he has contributed to this 2.5 - 3MM assets. (Note how he calls them assets and wouldn't clarify when asked what these assets are.) And I bet a lot is crypto. DW has grown up and seen what it takes and now she's stuck with a slacker and doing all the work.[/quote]
