Good Morning Investors!


๐Ÿ”ฅIn this post, I want to inspire you to follow my footsteps on the FIRE journey! I wanted to share my journey with you, to get to know each other more. Also, I want to read your story in the comments and get inspired too!


๐Ÿ”ฅI'm 42, and I always knew I didn't want to work until retirement. It sounded like a 40+ year grind. 40+ years of work, only to receive a state pension every elderly was complaining about. "It's so little. I can barely afford to live!" I was 100% sure I didn't want that.


About 12 years ago I learned about the FIRE movement, and I became fascinated. It gave hope, it showed an alternative way, something I was willing to work for. But can I do it? Is it snake oil? Is it just a mirage?

๐Ÿ€Do I need to get lucky and invest in the next $BTC (Bitcoin)ย or $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation)ย or $AAPL (Apple)ย ?

๐Ÿ’นWill simply investing in the $SPX500 (SPX500 Index (Non Expiry))ย of $VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF)ย get me there?


It sounded impossible at first.

Ludicrous.

Like gaming the system. Cheating.

Then it started to sound plausible.

The more I crunched the numbers and made projections, the more plausible it became. OK, I'm in, let's do this!


Did I know a lot about investing? No.

Was I able to save over 50% of my income? Yes.

Did I make mistakes? Many.

Did I give up? Never.

Every failure was a learning opportunity. Never gave up, and here I am, living the dream!

๐Ÿ‘‰Is it realistic for you?

๐Ÿ‘‰Whatย would you do if you didn't have to work forย money anymore?

๐Ÿ‘‰Have you ever calculated how much money you'd need to maintain your lifestyle without working?

๐Ÿ‘‰How would your life change if you could retire 10, 15, or even 20 years earlier than planned?

๐Ÿ‘‰If you could teach your younger self one thing about money, what would it be?


Remember, FIRE isn't just about extreme frugality or quitting your job. (Maybe, partly. eToro is my full-time gig now.)ย It's about designing a life you love and having the financial freedom to pursue your passions. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ“ˆ
