I still have marrying well as an option lol!
48 or sooner. I was fortunate to discover "FIRE" about a decade ago and have since plowed money into retirement and after tax investments above all else. Given we work in a hyper consumption industry, at first it felt like a major sacrifice that would never pay off when I compared myself to everyone else (you know - having anything nice like a nice house, cars, consumer things). I was pretty hardcore about not spending money on anything besides basic needs for a good 6/7 years. But that FOMO is completely gone as I sit on over a 1.3 million dollar nest egg at 42 years old. Very fortunate/privileged no doubt, but honestly I had no help from family along the way and only made a normal middle management salary so ill give myself a small pat on the back for that. Compound interest is indeed the 8th wonder of the world if you can keep it on your side.
CD4 no doubt. I have most of this money in S&P500 index funds, but have done enough self education around asset allocation to minimize some risk. IE portion in long term bonds, gold, cash, commodities etc. All in theory help if there is an economic calamity in the stock market. But I don't count my chickens before they hatch so this is all long term money I will just let ride and not mess with.
retire or die trying
Idk but I’m 31 and cannot imagine doing this another 30 years
