That's pretty interesting, I actually never thought of a 50% saving rate as "work one month, then you get a month of unpaid vacation".
I'm very much into FIRE too ! I think there are a few caveats to that mentality, I see a lot of people who literally decide to sacrifice 10-15 years of their life to retire early by getting their saving rate as high as possible and basically stop going to restaurants and don't allow themselves to enjoy life because they are waiting for the next one. There is nothing wrong with being frugal but I would argue that the whole "sacrificial" mindset is something to be aware of and thread lightly around it.
So what is your plan when you FIRE ? I'm not sure what I'll do yet, there is the usual "travel, see friends, play all the video games, grow a garden" but assuming I retire at 35 I can't do that for 50 years haha. Also I think I like working a bit too much to completely stop working, so I might work part time in an NGO (like ocean cleanup) or teach programming. Activites that I love doing but that pay too little compared to what I could do elsewhere.
Are you trying to say that it's not worth living on spaghetti and oatmeal porridge so that one day, your kids can get extremely spoiled and then fight over what's left of your fortune when you're gone?
Haha, mr. legendary just made a supah awesome joke!
Great thoughts man! I am sure you figure out something awesomeness! You like working a bit much - only if you love what you do aight? :P
To be honest, me personally, the list is so long that I think I would need a own post for that! keywords for now: self-realization!
