That sounds amazing, honestly 😍 did you have to lease a car to get around?

Yes!! We are in Phoenix right now! And the weather has been great, the house is so much bigger, and we have taken weekend trips to Sedona and tucson.

I’ve been meaning to do this especially because I’m in a tiny apt in NYC and the winter is depressing but I’m on H1B and that restricts me from working outside of my office location :( still planning a trip to Florida 🤞🏻

Anyone in the area a fan of going to outdoor breweries or bars during these times? Lost most of my social circle after a breakup a few months ago (they were her friends since I was always traveling and couldn’t meet others or join groups) and with covid it’s been difficult to find ways to meet new people and make friends so figure I’d try here. trying to find some people in the area to hang out with in smaller groups! 23 y/o M if that matters

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
