[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I joined this movement, but I call it 'retirement'.[/quote]

IKR? Nobody has a problem with retirement, early retirement, FIRE, or being so wealthy you don't have to work. But young people living within their means (whatever the source of those means) to avoid a dead-end traditional job is somehow triggering.

I have a traditional 9-5 job and a nice lifestyle. If I could afford my lifestyle without working I'd quit tomorrow. I have several friends who made different lifestyle choices (no house, no kids) and have non traditional income or temporary jobs. They're not in debt or mooching, they just made different choices.

UH, YES THEY DO. I’m fully retired (SAHM of tweens and teens), my H is semi retired (he dabbles in some projects but out of interest, not the need for money) due to an IPO payout.

Do you know how many people say they would be bored and not know what to do with a full schedule of leisure time and hobbies??

I can’t stand the rise and grind people. I think they need to get a life. Quite literally! Find yourselves some hobbies. Get a dog. Travel. Spend more time with your loved ones, especially your parents, while everyone is still in good health. Think about something besides money!![/quote]

I mean, I agree with you about the hobbies, travel, and pets, but [b]the only people who don’t have to think about money are those who have a lot of it. [/b]You said yourself that your husband got an IPO payout. I think I’d be darling at being retired, but I can’t yet. So your suggestion exposes your privilege.[/quote]

Life is very expensive, esp "travel & hobbies".
I find it interesting to see the approval of those that follow their passion, such as life as an artist or horseback rider - yet no one acknowledges that fact that Larla can do these things due to her family's wealth. Literally makes no money at all as horseback rider, competing all over the world. No need for a retirement fund...[/quote]
