[quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the desire to retire at 40. By the time you’re around 40, you will have probably gotten used to working in your industry and your job should be easier to manage. You likely have a month or more of vacation and it’s easy to get the full 401k match. You’re also making say, $150k a year. You really want to turn down $150k to earn $0? This seems so extreme and unnecessary. It’s also much easier to FIRE in a bull market. Do you really want to sell securities to live off during a down market? One thing to consider is what you’ll do with your time. I’d enjoy skiing, traveling and tending to my house but these things all cost money. If I quit my job I’d be very limited as to what I can do.
