What is your ideal age to achieve FIRE? 35, 40, 45 or 50? And what will you do after achieving it? With the mental health downsides to FIRE, why do u still want to pursue it?

30 is miracle. 40 is dream. 50 is achievable.

Rather than pursuing FIRE or financial freedom, I would tend to work towards the freedom of choice in the future.

​

I'm 30 years old and I hope that I future I work because I choose to, not because I want to so that I can pursue the work I truly enjoy.

​

Still on my road of self-discovery, I think it is good to continue working even you reached retirement age, perhaps at a slower pace or on an advisory role.

I do not want to stress myself too much as I do still want to enjoy life now. My bf is not even on the same page as me so it's been a little tough on my mind but I'll take it slow as we have big purchases soon (wedding, house) so I sort of understand why he wants to delay investing. So I hope to FIRE by 50 or 55 even (that's about 20-25 years later). After that age, I'll probably still find part time work to do so my brain remains active and take as many leave as I so desire haha so I may travel the world or even just frequent jb travel with my big family :) can't afford to pay for many people Hahahah

My wife and I aims to retire by I'm 40, which is 10 years later. By then, hopefully we would have reached FRS in SA, and $1.5m in cash assets.

targetting 5% returns will give us about $75k annually - $6,250/month. It will gives us the flexibility to not work, enjoy our life spending more time with each other and doing some light traveling. :)
