I’m also following FIRE and a midlevel associate at a large firm - did you ever consider taking a leave of absence before you hit your savings target? i.e. take a few months off as a break to travel and then come back to biglaw (firm willing, of course)
Don’t have kids or else your number will skyrocket.
Really great piece! Skips the hype, grounded, detailed, motivating and got me thinking. All the best to you!!
Thank you :)
What was your savings target? I can't wait to leave big law.
Roughly 15x current annual living expenses, but we could probably stretch that into 20x or more if we cut some expenses. I liked BigLaw well enough to stay pretty far into the FIRE journey, as it was working pretty well for me. I also wanted to get close enough to FI that there wasn’t too much pressure on my wife for the final stretch. But I felt less pressure to keep going because she truly wants to stay in BigLaw for a while longer.
Kids?
