[quote=Anonymous]To the OP: I’m struck by your religious-like devotion to his FIRE principles. Have you considered joining a conservative church? The kind that emphasizes a debt-free lifestyle (google Steve Maxwell as an example). For people who want a family and kids, it seems like the FIRE approach works best in the context of a shared religious faith. Otherwise, it’s too much sacrifice and earthly suffering. With FIRE as a shared spiritual value, that may be enough to keep the marriage going without resentment. Women in this context aren’t likely to bring much money to the table, but there’s a greater willingness to be extremely frugal and deny themselves and their children material goods in the interest of shared family values. I’m not FIRE and am not at all religious but know some conservative Christians who live a FIRE lifestyle by default. Just food for thought since that group may have greater appreciation for what you’re trying to do.[/quote]
