Ask HN: Who is retiring? (October 2020) I resigned from my tech job (most recently as an SRE) this past June after having hit my FIRE [1] number and the job becoming less interesting than it once was. I'm curious about who else is on this path and what your progress is like. [1] Financial Independence Retire Early |
I don't think it will happen for me. I live in a relatively HCOL, have a young family, child has a medical issue, and I pay all the bills. My wife will not contribute to the bills and refuses to relocate.
Maybe I could technical coastFIRE someday. I feel like I will have to quit at some point or I may lose my sanity. I try to live cheaply, so maybe I could work part time at Lowes if I can get enough saved for retirement, pay off the mortgage, and have enough to pay medical bills.
I'm screwed.
