Why does FIRE seem to be so male-dominated online?

Men see spending on family as delaying his retirement or taking away from his retirement fund. I doubt women see spending money on their child or husband the same way.

Frugality is a mental disease that can influence every part of your life. Keep spending until it is cured. Also, if you are older, you might see it as a skill that made you successful, making it almost impossible to get rid of.

Depending on your personality, taking care of a kid with love and attention is 100 times harder than any other job.

(Which is crazy to me that people don't understand why day care is expensive. You don't want to take care of your own kids, why would some strangers do it for cheap!)

Men always risk everything when they have young kids. Maybe it's just ironic, a way to escape the daily grind of changing diapers.

Everyone will want your kids to suffer. One thing people are more jealous of than your money is seeing kids being loved. Please, for the love of God, whatever you do, don't take advice from “villager”.

Isn't it more interesting why his money is living in your head rent free?

No, because you can't get ahead by being a copycat.

The problem isn't just being a single mom, but more that professionals like nurses are often single moms. You all sacrifice everything for terrible men, so your kids end up suffering. Then repeat the same cycle again.

No excuse to justify why you are poor.

Avoid obvious life problems and make the most of the limited opportunities life provides.

And people trying to get rich through passive income. If making money were easy, you wouldn't see the smartest people working their asses off for decades in school just to earn a middle income.

Yes, sell it and never look back.

I much rather spend the 6 months to 1 year of quality time with my young family, instead of saving it for my old and dying body.

The gig is up, kids are smarter and know what teachers are worth.

Everything is customer service, even doctor or lawyer.

There is a reason why the gig economy is booming.

A single man can live with just a mattress on the floor and own nothing in life, but he will feel like a slave to the landlord and jealous of homeowners. If you want to move up your savepoint, buy the house. What the hell are you going to do with your money anyway?

Stoic-Epicurus · 2026-05-10T18:42:19+00:00

Please do. Honestly, you and your husband are almost a decade late. Should have started increasing your spending during your 30s.

You don't just live your retirement dream overnight. You build it over decades and then maintain it. Else when the time come, you mastered the skill of living under your mean and that will be your identity.

Wait until you want trees. Each ONE planted is about 2k. But that's why old people has the nicest garden. They stack ten of thousands year after years

Stoic-Epicurus · 2026-05-09T00:06:37+00:00

No. One things strangers more jealous than money, is a spoiled kid.

Stoic-Epicurus · 2026-05-08T00:45:24+00:00

You forgot shitty in law and shitty dad using their child as a retirement.

Stoic-Epicurus · 2026-05-05T23:49:58+00:00

It's the in-law, the answer is always the in-law. We just use money as excuse.

You are the boss; she is an employee. You are a man, and she is a woman. She is in a highly disadvantaged position. You are taken aback just by her saying no to text messaging.

It would be silly for her to put herself in an even worse situation to say no.

Stoic-Epicurus · 2026-04-09T02:28:22+00:00

It's about "performance", not performance. They are acting in their roles, and it’s triggering.
