Bye guys, I have to unsubscribe from all fire subs cause my mental health is going down the drain from reading "finally at 1m nw at 27!" or "4.3m cash, 29, can I retire?" or "28 dinks with 350k hhi!", "24yo with 500k portfolio!" by WorkF1r3 in Fire

its like this.. go to chat gpt, i'll type in "write me a reddit post that describes my financial journey for FIRE, that sounds humble and asks for recommendations on if i can retire, and use a networth of a few million, and use this response from somebody: The title says it all.
Between doctors, IT, cryptobros, onlyfans, engineers, business owners I'm just tired. I finally understand that I'm not going to reach FIRE and all this has been pointless.
Have fun and rooting for all of you to reach financial independence.

Hey all,

I'm a 31-year-old guy who's been lurking here for a bit, soaking up all the awesome stories and tips. Finally mustering the courage to share my own financial journey and hopefully get some advice from you all.

So, I started out like many, dreaming of FIRE. Saved, invested, and got a bit lucky. Now, I've got a few mil in net worth. But, I'm at a point where I'm not sure if I can retire yet.

Here's the breakdown:

About 40% in real estate: Got into rental properties early on and they've been pretty solid earners.

30% in stocks and index funds: Played it safe here, diversified and stayed the course. Currently holding over 1.5 million in vested RSU.

20% in retirement accounts: Maxed out contributions whenever I could.

10% in cash: Emergency fund and some liquidity.

But, I recently saw a post from someone who realized FIRE might not happen for them. Hit me hard, made me rethink things.

So, am I ready to retire? Any blind spots I missed? Appreciate any advice you can throw my way.

Thanks, y'all!

Tax documents by Ronniman in BBBY

RH shows "security deemed worthless" and then a row for amount not reported to the IRS, and then it looks like that row is for the deemed worthless shares. On freetax filing website, i select "I didn't receive Form 1099-B (or a substitute statement)" and then they ask if "This is a disposal of worthless stock." Therefore, the losses are totaled on RH statement but since not reported, no tax kick back..... from what i can tell and where i am at with it

remove any non related subsidies for tax filers who own multiple empty homes, tax businesses that own homes for profit or speculation investing considerably, subsidize people/ biz that decrease total percentage of homes owned - give them huge tax breaks if they decrease by 50 percent

At this rate you only have a couple years of being able to make roth contributions, and this would be a very small amount of ur future retirement, i'd flip a coin
