What are some COAST Or Barista FIRE jobs you all are looking into? Ideally one with benefits.

The only way barista FIRE makes sense over traditional FIRE is if you are moving to a job you legitimately enjoy.

Otherwise, it's very hard to justify leaving a high income job (where you can hit traditional FIRE in generally ~5-10 years after barista fire numbers), for a low income job (where you may have to work for 10-20+ years). When at the end of the day you're unhappy working at both jobs, and one job results in being unhappy for a longer duration

There are exceptions to every rule, and I agree with you on this one. Sacrificing an extra 5 years working so you get more time with the kids now is something that can easily be justified. Good on you OP!

He actually opened it while working a Corp finance role full time. Now it runs itself and he coast fires.

Mine is moving back home and being a scuba diver guide/instructor. I'm 36 with $1.8M in stocks/retirment accounts. I can coast/barista fire now but going to work til 40 then will scuba dive instruct for 3 to 5 years and fully retire. $5k/month is a very healthy income in my home country, which i am able to sustain indefinitely with what i have now if I wanted to traditionally retire, but not ready to yet.

Ideas that spring to my mind: whatever you do today but part time/1099, state/local government, nonprofits, teaching, part time work for a friend's business, part time work in your hobby spaces (cleaning boats, working at a pool hall, books at a country club)

Also literal barista, of course.

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

Feeling grateful & proud as I reached my goal ($50K by 25) 5 months early. But I can’t help feeling a bit overwhelmed. In the lifelong scheme of things, $50K doesn’t seem like much. I worked really hard and sacrificed a lot (including mental health) to get to this but it seems a little tiring knowing I still have so long to go. I recently moved out and in with my BF so my expenses are split, but nonetheless they are still expenses. Any tips on continuing this journey and keeping the drive?

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!
