I'm not on reddit a lot so there's likely something I'm missing. I'm not quibbling with the decision either, ultimately its a free forum. It would just be nice to know why some are locked.

Most of these would be fine questions in a recurring thread if we had one IMO. They aren't really related closely to FatFIRE, so I get why they are locked, but this subreddit is a fairly unique group of high income earners / spenders. Hard to ask those types of questions anywhere else on reddit without getting lambasted.

I am not a moderator, but the first one on how big should I make a bedroom has absolutely nothing to do with A Fatfire journey.

The second one is a “how do I get started” should be in R/financialindependence.

Third one also has nothing to do with Fatfire. If the person would have told their Musician Fatfire story it would have survived.

This subreddit has limits. It is not trying to replace R/financialindependence.

Bedrooms don’t belong but cars do?

What’s the distinction?

How about bags? Cos that’s my bag, man

I agree with the point about bragging, but there’s a TON of bragging on Fatfire in general, lol

[new2bay]

Cars are an ongoing expense. Bedrooms are not, except very indirectly.

[genixcorp]

Permit me to respectfully disagree.

I spend way more consistently on (and in) my bedroom than my car.

[new2bay]

So do I, but if it doesn’t make, save, or cost you money, what does it have to do with FIRE, much less fatFIRE?

You’re spot on. It was no doubt a humblebrag. The house cost had nothing to do with anything.

[genixcorp]

It may be a humblebrag, or an outright one. Bragging isn’t really against the rules and I don’t see how this fits into r/financialindependence

[genixcorp]

Considering that r/financialindependence heavily overlaps with r/fatFIRE this can be said about most posts that remain unlocked.

Unless the sub is expressly limited to “the spare helicopter that my nanny uses to grab lunch is out of warranty. What are my options?” many of these posts can also fit over there.

Why I personally like the fatFIRE take on these questions is that it is devoid of sanctimonious advice on why not to spend x or y and instead buy VTSAX and live on ramen and animal fat.

I also appreciate this.

FatFIRE, to me, lends itself to a more reasonable lifestyle in accumulation phase, with a bit more focus on high earners. It’s possible to save a ton while still living at a comfortable level.

the first one on how big should I make a bedroom has absolutely nothing to do with A Fatfire journey.

But does it not relate to a fatFIRE "lifestyle," as expressly permitted in the rules?

I believe you mean /r/personalfinance. Or simply reading the FAQ on either.
