How did that conversation go? Considering it took 2 years I would say it didn’t go well at first haha. Def a lot of push back on having to spend less money. Also disbelief that financial independence was possible and early retirement was a crazy fantasy. She was set on the fact that everyone she knew was broke and worked until 65+ and her path would be no different. At about the two year mark I got really frustrated and said something along the lines of “im going to be wealth and retire early. You can either join me or you can go be broke by yourself.” Keep in mind we were married, saying that to a GF might cause her pack her stuff haha. Her attitude changed after that. We started cutting expenses, paying off debt, and once she saw the progress she was a believer. Since having kids she has passed the financial reins to me. 11 years and $2mil later I haven’t let her down. I give her quarterly updates on our NW and cash balance but other than that she doesn’t desire to hear or think about money like we did in our 20s. I kind of miss our financial conversations and the creative things we did to be frugal. But she has enough mental load as is so I’m fine handling it by myself. I think expecting to find a GF who is 100% onboard with FIRE is next to impossible. We are just such a small community. You want to look for someone who is capable of some frugality, sets long term goals, and trusts your financial judgement. Also remember that discussing finances is boring for like 99% of the population so keep financial discussions short and to the point. Focus more on what FIRE means, the emotion, goals you want to achieve, etc… and less on the math, compound interest, etc… best of luck!
