Hi all, I see lots of subscribers in this community. What stage of FIRE are you guys in? curious about the demographic in here.

  • Neither FI nor RE
  • FI but not RE
  • FIRE'd
  • ?

I am in the first category, working towards FI for seven years now and recently reached 100K NW. Unfortunately I live in very HCOL area so I still have long ways to go ๐Ÿฅฒ

Neither FI nor RE. About 10-15 more years to go assuming a conservative (steady and realistic) timeline. Optimistically around 7 if the stars align and a few previous stock option gambles pop, but i treat those as pricey lottery tickets at best in today's environment.

wow so you're more than half way there, nice. I do similarly have a few fun tech stocks but they fluctuate like extreme rollercoasters haha.

We're blessed for sure, to borrow the phrase. Right now everything is essentially on coast for the next few years to build momentum, but I still can't help but obsessively check the sheets and numbers constantly
