Re: Have I got enough for FIRE

Hi again. I still think that ‘I can’t stand this place a moment more’ is a different problem from ‘can I never earn again’.
I’d encourage anyone feeling the former to get out and find something better (even if they don’t have a six or seven figure net worth). Even if that seems impossible/unlikely right now, I am willing to bet that it’s not. I’d also try consider whether you can scale back - many things are possible if you just ask the question/lay out your bottom line. The intolerable can become surprisingly tolerable if you don’t have to do it every day or with all your energy.
I will probably ease out of my ‘proper’ job completely over the next 2-3 years, but it’s so much easier doing it in order to create more time for things I’m getting busy with than just because I think I will break if I don’t.
Best of luck anyway, on the next stage of the adventure.
