I’ve never really understood this mentality. If you plan to spend the rest of your life someone, it doesn’t really make sense to think of expenses separately. If you’re ability to FIRE is contingent on someone else still working, you’re not in position to FIRE

The problem here is they actually don’t make financial decisions together. While I do generally agree that if a couple want to FIRE, they should generally view their savings as one combined pool. But that also requires combining paychecks and budget. If the gf spends only based on what she wants while expecting the bf to save for the both of them. Essentially she thinks her paycheck is hers and while his savings is theirs. It isn’t a fair expectation. Some men might be good with that but the bf in the article clearly isn’t. At the end of the day, it’s compatibility issue.

I've been tracking my net worth every month since 2015. Finally hit $1M this month 🎉. Financial independence has been a major goal of mine since graduating and I feel an immense amount of gratitude to be able to hit this milestone.

Happy to share my strategies but some of the craziest takeaways in self reflection is how quickly wealth snowballs.

Nov 2021 $1M
Nov 2020 $600k
Nov 2019 $400k
Nov 2018 $270k
Nov 2017 $175k

For those of you early in financial journey, stay the course! 🙏 (xpost)

I just passed 200k in my total investments (401k, brokerage). I know that’s not a lot comparing to y’all but it’s great for me!

Other than that I have a home that I have $210k left and no other debt. TC is $180k as of April. Any suggestions on how to grow investments would be great.

Checked my 401k for the first time in a while and updated my NW spreadsheet. I broke $500k! Last time I checked I was at like $498k!
My goal is to be a "Barista retiree" in my mid 50's

*And before someone criticizes me for holding too much in cash I have plans for it and it will be in other places by end of July
**I dont include my car (paid in cash) in NW because when I did it would make me nauseous seeing how bad depreciation is

The best decision I made towards my FIRE goal was to move from Europe to the US. I did so at 31 with a NW of $300k. Four years later, my NW is $1.2M as I kept costs low while earning significantly more. My concern now is how to keep a good balance as I know that costs will greatly increase (house, kids..) in the next few years. Has any of you considered moving to Europe to benefit from a cheaper lifestyle once you’ve grown your nest egg?

Hi everyone. I am new to FIRE and I am not sure where to begin. I am 24 and currently make 60k. I am contributing 9% of my pay to my firms 401(k). I have 9,500 left on my car loan and 26k in federal student loans. Should I make my main focus paying off debt this year? I am lucky to be living rent free with my parents so I have no other expenses. I would like to buy a house by December 2022/early 2023. My parents are not good when it come to money/retirement so I have no one to turn to for advice

Unpopular opinion: the FIRE community is contributing to an unhealthy workaholic culture as we forestall healthy work-life balance in favor of reaching our “FIRE” numbers a few years earlier. As a result, work culture is becoming all the more intolerable as the bold few would-be advocates for work-life balance are sucked headfirst into the rat race, and no one is left to fix things from the inside.

Society overall would be better served by a more community-minded approach to work-life balance.

Here is a flex… I have now seen my investments drop and now recover more than my salary in a single year, pretty crazy in retrospect. When I started those years ago all I could do was scrape a few bucks together every month to save. Now the savings hardly even matters!
