Thinking about FIRE at 50, right now 47, should I change a job for a better pay or stay at the same job. The new job will be busier than my existing job. My current job will get me to my FIRE number. After 50, I will do a seasonal contract job each year to keep my skills fresh.

.How much earlier would you hit FIRE in the new job? Likely just a couple months?
However 3 years is still a decent amount of time. Being “busy” isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Which is good brokerage account for etf and stocks. Can't use robinhood due to restrictions

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!

I’m curious why more non-US citizens interested in FIRE don’t go live in a no/low tax jurisdiction even for a few years e.g. Dubai, some Caribbean islands. I get that some people will have family circumstances (e.g. elderly parents to look after) so it won’t be possible for them, but for a significant proportion it will be an option
