[quote=Anonymous]OP, by your numbers, we are either halfway to FI or less than 2 years away from FI as a married couple with two children. We are less than 10 years older than you. No inheritances, living independently the whole time. We did live with my parents while I paid off student loans but moved out once those were paid off. We budget. Our overall FI number is bigger than yours because we want to retire on a lot more than that. I’m worried about future tax policy and political changes that will eat away at our investments no matter how responsible we are. The one bit of advice I can offer is not to let your desires to achieve financial freedom override your life. If you want to get married and/or have kids, figure out how to do that. Plan but not too much. Don’t let FI cause you to be afraid to live your life. The day our NW crosses the 2M threshold, nothing will change and no one will know but us. We both like it that way. Same with when it crosses 4M.[/quote]
